Thank you for continuing to be a voice of reason. I'm simply blown away by the apologists for normalizing owner-hostile culture in personal technology.

Manufacturers could include physical interlocks to allow this "trusted" functionality. Early (all?) Chromebooks had this kind of functionality. Manufacturers aren't including it because it locks-in their revenue streams, and owners aren't demanding it because the average non-technical user (and, apparently, technical people too) don't understand the value of the ability to control the devices you own.
