GR86 silicone in pick up tube. Good news everyone!

Many new owners of the Subaru BRZ and Toyota GR86 have found silicone sealant in their oil pickup tube strainers and some have had engine failure due to this. I found excessive sealant in my oil pickup tube myself and made a previous video sharing my concerns.
In this video I go over the situation and explain Toyota's response to all of this.
Original incident that started it all:

Statement from Toyota:"Regarding the 2022 GR86 issue in question, the Toyota Gazoo Racing brand is driven by enthusiasts and focused on delivering incredible experiences wherever the driver may take their vehicles, including the closed-course settings for which their vehicles are designed, so long as they are driven in a manner that falls within the terms of the warranty.While the vehicle’s warranty excludes damage that results from activities such as misuse and racing, simply participating in National Auto Sport Association (NASA) High Performance Driving Events (HPDE) or similar NASA instructional events provided complimentary to GR owners would not, in and of itself, void the warranty."
