Yes. Good points.
Well, the first thing we might do is just a "Only an Administrator can make changes." setting where you only admin accounts are allowed to change settings. This one makes sense. Everything beyond that gets complicated and easy to circumvent fast.
(I also think the original question was more about blocking features and the likes.)
Protecting against other software is related, but also different. We have some decent protection here, albeit not against simply shutting Portmaster down.
