I would rather have a “all users must have root access to their devices” or all software must be user replaceable integrated into the law. We let Apple do their own thing, but adventurous users could try installing android and such on the iPhone (similar to how the asahi project is making Linux on M series macs a reality)
It may not, but that doesn't stop me wanting it.
Every hacker and law enforcement agency in the world would love your user root access idea
I seriously doubt law enforcement agencies want that, or they would make it law.
