No regression or simpler times needed. The right to own is orthogonal to what you do with the thing you own. The right to choose who I trust to operate my thing, and why, is just as important as the right to operate it directly myself. Even if I can't write all the code in my doorbell, I am still harmed by an inability to choose who's code runs on the doorbell, and still harmed even if I do have a choice but none of the available choices are open source because some artificial process prevents it. It requires no simpler times to simply choose freecad instead of autocad, etc. It doesn't even require deep knowledge to make that choice either.
