Probably going to see this in the small claims court then. Afaik the readability of a serial number has no relevance to them having to replace it.

Unreliable, sadly. Bios can be altered to report something else. Thats how scam cards work

I assume there are read only parts of the card that only the manufacturer can access. But maybe they are just actually that incompetent.

What's the limit on Small claims? I think you have to take out a mortgage these days to buy a 5090 😂
