There's a lot of non-consensual stuff going on in the software world in general.
Non-consensual interface changes.
Non-consensual functionality changes.
Non-consensual software updates.
Non-consensual deprecation of browser support. (No, I don't think "security" is a good enough argument for dropping support for a client which is someone's only device for accessing their life-essential service through a secure network.)
Non-consensual changes to user data.
Non-consensual service and software deprecation and retirement.

I think most people are only starting to wake up to this being an option, not a given, and whoever provides the ability to easily own your own device, software, AND data stands to benefit others and themselves quite a bit.
