I mean, you sort of do, don't you? You don't need to go through this to get the entitlement for a dev build that you put on your phone.

According to apple’s explanation page [1] (near the middle) you can only run on the simulator without the entitlement.
> Note: You can test your app using the iOS and iPadOS simulators without an active entitlement, but using multicast and broadcast networking on physical hardware requires the entitlement.
You actually can unlock it - just get an app written by a trusted developer that uses the multicast functionality, and you can use your phone to transmit the multicast traffic that app generates.
You’re free to access that functionality of your device, using software that uses it responsibly.

So using it solely in ways Apple approves of - Since they're the arbiter of "responsible" here.
So how do I own this device again?
Who the fuck is Apple to tell me what responsible use looks like on a device that I own, on a network that I own, in my own damn home.
I understand the risks of allowing local network access, I'd like to unlock the lock.
Why does apple still have control to say no?
