Maybe. It&#x27;s not clear to me how many people would go to the bother of unlocking their devices and then complain to Apple when something went wrong if there was some trivial roadblock.<p>I&#x27;d also, on an ideological note, be inclined to be cautious about separating the consumers and the producers any more than they already are. One of the big promises of computers is that you can automate so much - granted a lot of people are cut off from that power - and I&#x27;d want to be going in the direction of making that power more accessible to people rather than less. If I&#x27;d had to, for example, buy a specialised programming computer with a programming OS when I was young... I&#x27;d probably not be a programmer today. That sort of thing seems like it would be very expensive.<p>But you may very well turn out to be right - maybe most people can&#x27;t be allowed to have nice things. :&#x2F; Depressing, if true, but not entirely implausible.
