Read it carefully. There is zero room for interpretation, zero ambiguity: for Part 91 the Manual at time of manufacture governs. What is even more empowering is the reasoning expressed in the document.
That's not to say a greedy or dinosauric mechanic may push for doing the SIDs, but a) that should be the exception, and b) most will come around when they read the FAA paper.

We live in a legal world of Tort Law. Any IA would have to think long and hard before signing off an inspection that does not comply with the manufacturers instructions. The liability that will follow them is staggering. And a good attorney can argue that the manufacturer placed these extra inspection measures from a safety standpoint. Just imagine how this would look in front of a jury.
I don't think it's necessarily a "greedy or dinosauric" mechanic that would push for accomplishing the SIDs but one that is using CYA.
