That's why I described it as a market failure - as a user you're left picking which set of drawbacks is less of a problem for you. I disagree with that conclusion (the latter scenario happens frequently and has lead to significant consequences, including death) but completely agree that it's not a good situation that the alternative is giving a couple of companies control over who gets to ship software.

It's reasonable to make the argument that the manufacturer needs to secure the devices that they sell, even for users with low technical literacy.Īdvocating for the manufacturers to be given total control over everything that every user can do with their device won't guarantee increased security, but it certainly would result in manufacturers being able to disable any software they chose to, regardless of legitimacy, without reason or recourse. While there are people who make this argument purely on ideological grounds (similar to arguments you hear about individual freedoms vs collective rights), it's essential to recognize that _completely_ removing the ability of independent developers to write and run software if the manufacturer has decided they don't like that developer will slowly destroy the competition, creativity and freedom that created most of the technologies that are used today. > ideological position that they should be able to do anything with the device This is not to say that Apple is acting without self-interest here, only that I think there's really a pretty nasty market failure making it quite difficult to reconcile someone being able to make choices about their device with a fairly high risk of compromise with potentially significant consequences. How many people might consider installing something which this guy they met in a coffeeshop says will protect their messages from government surveillance? Now consider how many people might have malware installed by an abusive domestic partner, and where control of the device would extend to hiding the existence of spyware.

The scammers who push malware under the guise of tech support, free porn/games, etc. That's the hard part for all of this: if you are building an unlock mechanism the first question you need to ask is how you build a UI which clearly communicates to a user that they are likely giving control of all of their data, location/camera/microphone, etc.
