Well, it comes from people who don't know what to modify. It takes a bit
of Googling these days (used to be harder to come by), but only a bit; if
you search for "HD SC Setup patch", you'll find everything you need to
make that particular tool work (there are situations where it's preferable
to Drive Setup, but I don't remember them off the top of my head). Drive
Setup works with damn near everything, Apple-labeled or not.
