Yes it should, because being able to install an OS on their device means they can install one on mine.
And people will come up with all kinds of farcical workarounds for this, like that nonsense about 72 hrs in diag another comment made (right, because someone can't hold a device from you for 72 hrs), but I'm not interested.
Jailbreaks are security flaws, I like that they're patched and I like that there's no blessed equivalent. I liked that I can trust my iPhone in ways I can't trust the Android devices I'm paid to develop for.
The same freedom that makes developing for Android fun is the same freedom that ruins them for any reasonable use I might have.
