Turns out there are a number of profoundly negative social consequences to giving everyone a general purpose computing device with always-on internet connectivity. Malware, piracy, CSAM, revenge porn, people goaded into self-destruction by social media or AI, etc. Doing nothing is no longer an option, and nobody cares what a handful of nerds think. Those nerds must be held accountable to the greater society of which they are a part. Using a computer will become a much more regulated activity, one way or another, as the pressure has been building for decades. General purpose computing is dead; its time has passed. The next step of course, will be laws requiring verification of OS and application binaries on all computing devices including PCs. Official developer accounts will be excepted for purposes of building software to run on one (1) device for testing. This is necessary in order for computing devices to comply with the age attestation/verification laws.
