This is mostly as simple as striking out DMCA 1201. The device maker need not bless the activity so long as they do not have a cudgel with which to threaten users from modifying their own devices they bought. I agree we should force platforms to be more.open and interoperable, but we can get at least part way there by not allowing them to sue innovators.
