I don't think more government regulation for such a specific reason is a good idea. Just don't buy their products.

At some point this "voting with your wallet" argument gets ridiculous. How realistic is going through life without one of these slaveware devices? (defining slaveware as hardware or software that treats you as a slave to the corporation that made it) Most people are coerced to using it, not even knowing the difference, forcing you to use the slaveware as well.

Do you really think the general consumer knows about any technical details of the products they buy, and if they did, they would care enough to chose the less-comfortable option for no perceived gain? This almost never works, and I think you know that.

Do you really think the general consumer knows any medical details of the vaccines they buy? Should we regulate misinformation?

We regulate vaccines, don't we? If you're so opposed to government regulation, vaccines are a very strange example to bring up.
