I'm basically on the "other side", I know some people have genuine security concerns but still find it amusing when people complain about devices being "obsolete" once they no longer receive updates, when I avoid them like the plague because all they ever do is remove intended and unintended freedoms. But maybe we're in a trap, because we can use hacks to do what we need, it's not worth the effort of switching from Android etc. But if these hacks were fully gone, alternatives would find it easier get off the ground. Have to hope so because we're going to find out, these systems are only getting more secure and locked-down with time.
