Isn't the authoritarianism in the fact that the hardware you buy doesn't let you just install your own firmware? "Memory safety" has the word "safety" in it, but really it's just a tool to help developers avoid bugs. I want to be able to install whatever I like on my hardware, but I certainly don't want other people to be able to install whatever they want on my hardware.
