Every day we stray farther from the premise that we should be allowed to install / modify software on the computers we own.

Will once again re-up the concept of a “right to root access”, to prevent big corps from pulling this bs over and over again: https://medhir.com/blog/right-to-root-access

Tell that to all those assholes that are making malware and scamming society on billions.

Most of users are not able to keep themselves safe in the internet - they want to install all kind of crap without thinking too much.

All of this is companies making it possible that average Joe could just click links, install any kind of crap and still be somewhat secure.

You don't have to prevent root access. You just have to inform user of the risks, void warranties if you want but let users do whatever they want with the hardware that they own.

The problem is Dunning Kruger effect.

The people who shouldn't disable these security features tend to be the first to do so. And then complain the loudest when the enter the "find out" phase.
