The restrictions just make spyware easier to hide. Malicious users will still be able to bust into devices but removing or detecting them will be harder as you

The restrictions just make spyware easier to hide. Malicious users will still be able to bust into devices but removing or detecting them will be harder as you will not be in control of the device.
What about what that curation entails. Should I be forced to watch ads the manufacturer sends me before I can do anything? Should I be forced to pay a rental fee or lose all access to my data? Should all financial transactions be controlled by the manufacturer's prefered system?
The problem with walled gardens is lockin and shareholders would be irrational not to encourage the manufacturer to maximize the profit they can extract from each device. I don't want a device where my every interaction is controlled and monetised to maximize my consumption.
