"Think of my elderly mother!" is the apple fanboy's version of "think of the children!" No. Get over it. Talk with your mother and explain your concerns. Do you have power of attorney over your mother? If you think she's too mentally feeble to be responsible for herself, then maybe you should think about that instead of advocating for the imposition of these rules on everybody else.
