Yes this exactly. If Apple insists that they have absolute control over what you can install on hardware that you ostensibly own then they also bear the blame for for kowtowing to every jurisdiction's whims. The ability to install the software we want on hardware we own should be every user's irrevocable right. Wrap it in three layers of warnings and opt-in dialogs if necessary to protect people but it needs to be possible. Maybe you trust Apple enough to decide what software can run but are you also comfortable giving this power to whoever is in power in your government at any given time? It's an extremely dangerous precedent.
