Apple closes exploits which allow jailbreaking, precludes it in the EULA. What more would you have them do?

Preventing jailbreaking is not a good thing, in part since that's what allows us to check on what Apple is doing on the device, in regards to privacy, security and e2e encryption. If nobody can check, do you suppose we just accept their statements about the device as fact?
