You've left out one important player here: it's not just about the manufacturers and the masses yearning for entertainment, but also about the surveillance industry.

Giving people root access on their tracking equipment would jeopardize its surveillance functions, because people might elect to give themselves privacy.

We long ago passed the threshold of where human masses can be pushed and manipulated into what are then rampaging rioters, by mistake. Remember the deadly waffleiron and kicks stampedes? where marketers, whipped up demand for a totaly inconsequential item, to where people DID kill and die trying to get there first.This is the hint about where the limits of human control lie, and just how usefull MORE information will be.
