Frankly - I think it needs to be broader in scope than just devices that have exited support.
This sort of lockdown is equivalent to selling someone a car, but not providing them the keys - Oh, you wanted to start your car? Just call us and we'll do it for you.
It would be utterly unacceptable to call that ownership for most other physical items, and we shouldn't allow companies to sell hardware with digital locks if the owner isn't provided a key.
I don't mind the lock (just like I want my car to have a lock) but I damn sure better have a key.
