Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

You still are & just don't know it. The power company can tell when & what devices you're using. You'd need a way to store enough power so your appliances never connect directly to the grid, basically a power firewall.
Wouldn't that monitoring need to be really close to the house? Otherwise I'd think the capacitance of the lines would even out any tiny profile surges. So I think it'd need to be in the power meter. I'd think you could verify or rule that out pretty quickly by looking if the hardware is capable of that sort of tracking.
