Somebody wanted this, but it might not be a user, and it might not fill any user need whatsoever. If I am the primary user of the hardware, my wants take precedence over anyone else, including the manufacturer and the software vendors.
- robot 4y agoagreed, your wants take precedence. If there are enough buyers like you who care about hardware freedom they'll drop this feature.
- MereInterest 4y agoI was not making a market-based argument, as the preferences of other buyers is irrelevant. That Having purchased the hardware, that I wish to run software is the only justification required. This is not something that is amenable to market-based solutions, as the market contains bad actors pushing for infringement of my ability to run software.
