Most comments in this thread:

I don't want to have ownership of devices I pay money for, because if I don't own anything, nobody can steal it from me.

On HackerNews of all places. It's a bit funny.

Reminds me of reading posts on MacRumors crying that the EU plan to mandate an option for installing applications outside of the App Store will ruin Apple's operating system.

This is on the nose. I have no clue what the limit is for what you can convince people to surrender, but I don’t think we are even close.

Well, yeah. Ownership is responsibility, and the world is shifting towards more convenience, so less responsibility. So we're also going towards less ownership as well, with products being turned into services and leases. And frankly, in a lot of cases, I don't mind it.
