What did you expect? This is a computer to access and manipulate data, not to consume it as a smartphone.

Call me when a smartphone locked toyware can do 1% of what Emacs can do.

If any, stop using propietary crap to do your daily job.

If I am the one who decides what is locked (and not Google or Apple) then "smartphone" security model is good for me.
