“right to root” would prevent so much eWaste.
I would love a variant that is like, if you stop delivering security and minor fixes/backports to a device, you have to give access to root or better even to the bootloader.
The problem is that it allows users to detect when they're connected to a phony cell tower like the ones police and ICE use to intercept communications, and we Can't Have That.
You could always boot whatever operating system you like on Macs.
Ok?
