Why do you need to own devices? I&#x27;m perfectly happy with Apple being my phone&#x27;s sysadmin, the way my company&#x27;s IT department is the sysadmin of my workstation (or, more relevantly, the way Google is the sysadmin for ChromeOS devices.)<p>Modern devices are basically converging toward being enhanced VT100 terminals connected to some multitenant mainframe somewhere (a.k.a. a &quot;cloud.&quot;) Whether that&#x27;s Apple&#x27;s cloud, Google&#x27;s cloud, Microsoft&#x27;s cloud, Canonical&#x27;s cloud, etc. You could get the same effect (if a little slower) by just having the device be a dumb framebuffer connected to a VM running in said cloud.
