This is such an insanely foreign perspective to me. Who gives a shit if people are "entitled" to total control over their hardware, a world where people have that control is better, so we should force companies to comply. Why would anyone care about the freedom of a multi-billion dollar corporation to fuck over their users lmao
If I started a company selling a product with my rules and you bought my product accepting my rules and then you started randomly bitching and crying to me about the rules then explain how I am suddenly the one who's the wrong, and if you could do so and force me to have losses why would I bother even starting the company to create and sell you the product you want in the first place
It's reality my friend (something 99% of users on this website seem to not be living in), if you could install literally anything on anything then you can wave goodbye to all the competition and just 1 king os that everyone flocks to and 1 king piece of hardware, would be an absolute disaster without competition and why would companies even attempt to compete in that world, you can't win customers over with good software (locked to your hardware) nor good hardware (locked to your software), most development would cease worldwide as most go bankrupt
