"They don't care that they can't run Linux, ..." This is why we need government intervention. If laws dictated that computing equipment etc. sold to the GP couldn't have 'locks' on them then these problems would instantly disappear. Such laws can be easily be justified on grounds of (a) stopping monopolistic practices (anti-monopoly laws), and (b) minimizing e-waste. This won't happen unless there's pressure on government like there has been over the right to repair from the Right to Repair movement. In fact such pressure could come from an extension of the group's current activities.
