Bullshit, and you know it. I want a computer with completely open schematics, completely open firmware and uCode, GPUs with no ties to the entertainment industry, and processors that don't have baked in "ring -3"s.
I want cars I can wrench on, and software I can trust. I want things that are mine first, not the manufacturers.
It. Will. Not. Happen. Short of doing it ourselves, because businesses can't spawn around those values.
So to hell with you pinning this on "well it's the consumers fault". To hell with that. The conspicuously absent feature is entirely a byproduct of industry. Not consumers. No one can consume what "industry" decides is bad for business.
