So the government will clearly help out here. And none of these companies has an incentives to stop sales to smaller companies, they make a lot of money with those.
But the devices were actually slowed down, so the danger is real.
Ah, that must be why we all have root access and can freely modify or install anything we want on every device we own! Oh, wait, we don't have those things and our non-PC systems are increasingly locked down and routinely do things against the wishes of the people who own them.
I...don't share your optimism, to put it lightly.
All this has already happened since 2008 when the app store came out.
With this tech stack, you wouldn't be able to.
The government is probably part of the driving factor in building this system.
The government probably doesn't want Wikileaks type material to be rendered. There are _so_ many ways the government likely wants to abuse this.
I'm sure there will be developer options for this too. After all, Microsoft is not going to make all the software themselves.
But they could restrict this too. For a lot of platforms you now have to sign up for a developer account and license agreement. Like on iOS, Oculus Quest..
