I really hope devices, services, and infrastructure get separated and also that it would become illegal for a device manufacturer to retain any kind of control over a device after it's been sold. Burning a public key into OTP ROM as trusted and not providing its private counterpart counts too.

You want to set up cloud backups? You get a text box to put a domain in. You get to choose whose infrastructure you use. It might be pre-filled with apple.com, but that's as far as it can legally go.

Protocols, not platforms.

This right here. I like controlling my own DRM Free media. I imagined a system the other day where you can buy a pressing of a movie and on checkout you get the video file or enter the host you want it sent to so you can stream it. Or both. This would open up all kinds of different hosting services- an entire industry.
