I'm more referring to the fact that stuff like PowerPoint and Minecraft and who knows what are Turing-complete, albeit with awful performance. Theoretically, you can have a totally owned device managed by Big Brother, yet generate AI smut with a general purpose CPU built in PowerPoint. How do you possibly regulate that?

I get what you mean, it's never possible to 100% limit things. But if you limit things 98% so that the general public does not have access that's more than enough for authoritarian purposes.
