The future might be going towards affordable jailed devices to the general public, and expensive general-purpose devices for specialists. Definitely most people just want consumption devices.

Want != need.

There are many people that wants child rapists to get death penalty, a lot of people liked Bush, Trump or Putin, or believe some guy living 2000 years ago did wonderful things against the laws of physics. They are not really thinking about the consequences on society, they don't know how a computer work and what is going to happen if behemoths get in control of their entire life, which is well on its way.

Because a computer is not your regular run off the mill appliance. It drives the way people communicate, think, consume, are informed and monitored.
