The problem with these "trusted" and "secure" systems is not that they restrict what the computer can do. The problem is when only the manufacturer gets to choose what is allowed and what is not. For example, a secure boot system where the root keys can be set by the user would be perfectly fine, even with the FSF. (Yeah, that opens a whole can of worms, but original Chromebooks showed that you can have a physical "dev mode" switch and still keep unknowledgeable users safe by default.)
