I wouldn't mind if there was something akin to Windows "S mode" (i.e. a mode that forbids 3rd party apps), set at time of purchase, and reconfigurable with a visit to an apple store.

Lol no, I don't think I should have to identify myself to Apple if I want to use a device I've obtained on the second hand market the way I see fit.

  Then don't buy second-hand devices in S-mode

    And what if Apple sells in S-mode by default?

      Then that would suck, which is why it's not what I said.

  reconfigurable with a visit to a physical Apple store is massive overkill. reconfigurable by reinitialising the device or changing a flag in BIOS are both more than enough to deter some demented pensioner from installing malware on their device
