I don’t think it’s accurate to say you are conferred no ownership in the current model - this reads as typical tech binary thinking. It’s either fully under my control or I have nothing! For most people the ownership aspect is covered by being able to buy and sell the devices freely, and decide what apps to put on them. They are (and before I’m accused of being patronising, I am in this group) happy with a device that is capable but more or less on rails and has the sort of security provided by third party vetting. And we don’t care at all that it’s the device vendor doing it. I get the arguments about monopolies and the whole thing being damaging to business, which is in the end damaging to consumer choice. But honestly “I should be able to do whatever I want at all layers of the stack on my phone” is waaaay down the priority list compared to “I want a secure device that does bank stuff, generates tokens and whatever else without me having to be vigilant like I am on an open system”. So to me the rights argument is the red herring. And yes, “choice” quickly becomes an avenue of exploitation for the less tech savvy.
