There are so many rights we have to fight for first (saying from a company that builds open source hardware products). + The right to have your data not being used in ways you wouldn't give permission for. + The right to have your data and devices properly protected against malignant actors + The right to be able to use your devices as you want, resell them, use them years after you bought them + The right to expect standards to apply. If you are relying on 110V, it should not be 180V. By the way, just standardization for power plugs/outlets would already save more money and resources than you can probably imagine. Especially if we enforce same grid voltage and freq everywhere in the world. Electrical engineering is too important to leave to individual nation states. There are other non-rights, like usability, look and feel, and prestige that are much more important to everybody than anything w.r.t. fiddling around with your stuff.
