My opinion about Apple has changed recently. They're now actively promoting privacy and I am OK with trading repairability with privacy. Also, Louis Rossmann on Youtube one of the most vile, deeply corrosive personalities out there and his audience enjoys the bashing of Apple left and right. He has essentially marketed himself as Anti-Apple and his message is always "Apple is Evil".

Even if anyone had mentioned Rossman, your second paragraph is one of the most textbook ad hominem arguments it's possible to make.

  Yeah, what a baseless, unprovoked attack that was.

How on earth is this being spun into "Apple protecting your privacy!"? This is the RDF in action.

  It's amazing how so many of these comments read like Apple PR. "I trust Apple to run this CA and gate access to it _far_ more than I trust my personal self to do so. This security improvement will make me safer, as well as my non-engineer coworkers, and my mom." Holy goodness. In the 2000s it was Google will save the world "Do no evil". Now it's Apple "Keeps us safe".

Why do you think malicious actors won't get their hands on these programs?

Watching Rossmann vids is why I have given up on Apple. He points out bad engineering/manufacturing in $2000+ laptops and I agree with his insights regarding how Apple makes it seem like the customer/user is wrong to cover their bad engineering.

If you're going to slander Louis, then can you at least back that up with some evidence? Why is showing how he repairs Apple hardware in real time "vile and deeply corrosive?" Please stand by your words and demonstrate with evidence what makes his personality corrosive.
