You cannot void the warranty by removing the screws. That would be like GM voiding a vehicle warranty because you removed the door panel to service a speaker or window.
You can pop the seal on your products if you like, but for everyone else, they should know most manufacturers frown upon that. If you can confirm Canon is okay with it, cool, but when I ordered the new eye cup, they did mention it to me that it was unclear if the warranty would be affected. I choose not to worry about it because I was at the end of the warranty anyway.
BTW, in your example, do you think GM would warranty a speaker that had clearly been removed and reinstalled (potentially incorrectly)? I don't think so, personally. Most manufacturers are clear to say they warranty their product and their installation, not untrained/certified third parties. To your point, some things may be within a manufacturer's scope to allow unauthorized maintenance such as, oil changes, filter replacements, etc., but many electronics manufacturers draw a red line when you crack their products open.
