experience
Repeating the propaganda of one of the largest corporations in the world, I think, does little to advance the argument.
In any sane modern system of property rights, people bought the hardware. That entails ownership of the device.
Presently there is a disconnect between hardware purchase and ownership that does not occur with non-software goods. This is a legal oversight.
The "right to repair" and "right to modify" etc. did not need to be explicitly granted historically because there was no disconnect. Today they do, and so they should.

The law prevents pollution, not EULAs.
