It isn't specialized hardware, it's generalized hardware with a specialized software stack. Nothing prevents you from accessing the content except for business-level decisions. The point was that we want to avoid tangling business decisions with the general purpose hardware.
(Almost everything these days is a general purpose computing device, even our "specialized" hardware is general purpose.)
