> If you sell a general-purpose computing device and market it as one, you should relinquish any control of it once it's sold.

The freedoms we have, and the freedom that should be protected is market choice to buy or not buy any consumer product.

If you don’t like Apple, don’t buy its products and purchase a device from a large number of competitors. It is really that simple.

There is no rule that consumers have a right to do anything. You are not guaranteed a right to install a Windows app on your iPhone, or iPhone apps on Windows. You aren’t guaranteed that your coffee machine can run Python.
