If you own a physical object and it has an internet connection than you don't actually own it.

I guess I didn't buy my phone or my laptop then?

You bought it but you don't own it. The companies that made them can always decide to reach through the internet and rearrange them better to their liking

Custom Android ROM? Linux? That's just not true. Especially considering entirely FOSS devices i.e. System76.
