Good post. I've never quite figured out how "users shouldn't have to mess with their devices to get them to work" became conflated with "users shouldn't be allowed to mess with their devices". Especially when the company most responsible for that idea produced Mac OS X, which is widely praised by both technical and nontechnical users.

Only people who have written assembly code for an embedded system, or installed an open source OS on a mobile device should even be allowed to make these "everything should be open" comments. The capability for you to tinker has been around for years, and in that time what have people created? Apparently nothing as good as Apple's closed system.
