Maybe so, but they are not the device manufacturers, nor are they likely to compensate you for water damage.
I guess experience has proven that in most cases, judicious application of the water will not cause the device any harm. But these devices are not really designed to get _any_ water on them, at least not the ones I've taken apart.
What these screen protector makers really need to do is use a nonconductive, noncorrosive fluid. Having lubrication on the film to allow you to position it is nice, but I am still leery of using water as that lubrication (the phone was bad enough, but putting these on my DSLR was a new level of pucker factor).
Regardless, thanks for taking the time to write this up.
