How Secure Boot Works on M1 Series Macs

I agree it's "your own device", but Apple's EULA makes it really clear it's only your own device insofar as you can choose to destroy it. They retain a residual right over the hardware, a partial ownership if you will, when it comes to what software is on it. You aren't buying hardware. You're buying an experience. You don't have the right to experience arbitrary software running on it, even if you trust it.

It's one of the reasons I'm not using Apple products anymore.

Apple's EULA explicitly allows you to replace the open source components of the OS with your own. One such open source component is the XNU kernel itself. This is what allows Asahi Linux to exist not just technically, but also in full compliance with Apple's EULA.
