This, I believe, is a fallback to the previous computing era model: that there be no restrictions on how the device operates.

Oddly, I have no interest in controlling how my car or fridge works, or what kind of control that the parent company applies, so long as I can use it the way that I want to - they annoy me at times with the decisions that they've made, but I made the choice to buy them in the first place...
