I'll take "being able to do as I desire with my mass produced device to the fullest extent permissible currently" over "being forced to bin (or forever keep offline) a multi hundred dollars soon-to-be-ewaste device because it became obsolete few years after production and without software updates and security patches the few remaining applications working are a giant security hole where even viewing an image embedded with malicious code can turn it into a botnet peer and a threat to your network". I'll also take this "risk" which could be applied to various extents to basically all community driven projects such as package managers and more. To me this is a middle finger from LG to its users (of which they may not even be fully aware or caring of, since they're closing the department), but as far as I'm aware their reputation in software has never been brilliant anyway.
