I think there’s a balance here where you have different harms. Your concern is about an intellectual ideal of full freedom to utilize a device as you see fit.

That is an ideal that I am philosophically attracted to. But… you have to balance harms when dealing with the public. Security risk management for mobile is difficult and even professional practitioners fail badly at it. A billion little servers with a trillion little bugs are a physical safety risk for thousands of people that they cannot effectively manage.
We live in an era where publishing is easier than it has been since society consisted of a bunch of cavemen in a few small bands. This idea is technically interesting but a bad one.
