Fine. Installing custom software is not an economic "must", but is a moral "must". If I have bought a device, then it is mine to run whatever software I want on it, and the manufacturer of the device has no moral claim over it.

If you agree to not side-load software via some EULA, does that change the moral calculus for you?

To me it's just a monopoly abusing its position.
