It's your last argument on the other hand, given its (maybe deliberately) extreme position, that I can't find much sympathy for. How far does Apple or another manufacturer have to go to satisfy your increasingly unrealistic demands? Do they have to sell you a replacement secure enclave chip, enable you to solder it in, provide the certificates to match it up to the rest of the phone? Sell you their source code so you can make your own patches and mix and match parts as you like? What if they only sell the main board as a whole component? What if their pricing for it is 2/3 the cost of the new phone? Do you mandate that they sell it to you for a certain cost too? It starts to get a little ridiculous and out of sync with how electronics are built and operate, if you take this to where some people would insist that it go.

Maybe they should stop selling devices then and only lease them. When I BUY a device I should have access to all the schematics, all of the components, etc. otherwise I do not OWN it, I am simply borrowing it I fail to see why electronics should hold a special place that other manufactured goods do not, for example we disallowed car manufactures from locking down the cars we own and they used the EXACT same excuses that modern electronics manufacturers do Now we are starting to see modern car companies, like Tesla, want to bring back those Anti-Consumer policies to the automotive world I am sadden that soo many people want to BUY a product but still have the manufacture get complete control over it. That is not ownership, that is serfdom
