I remember when Microsoft introduced driver signing, i remember articles in Slashdot and TheRegister going wild about how Microsoft was about block side-loading third party software, and only allow software which they specifically authorized to run on Windows or that they would charge large % fees to allow 3rd party software to be installed.

When those these restrictive practices were introduced with iOS and to a much lesser extent various Android distributions (not just phone, but other types of appliances), i was genuinely surprised about how quiet the same type of people are, who I thought protested out of principal.

Its the same pattern, like poltics, where people are just basically trying to sell or advocate for you to buy into or sell another product.

Yep. People have been banging the drum on TPMs and similar security chips being the end of personal computing for about 18 years now. Still waiting.
