Maybe the solution is not to abstain from the latest tech, but to regulate companies that make these devices so the shenanigans are actually illegal. It is not a problem that should only be solved by ideologically driven people who are willing to tinker and suffer, but rather a protection all citizens enjoy.

I'm not fully convinced that legislation alone can fix all of our problems, but for what it's worth, I'm all for it.
That said, regulation probably won't solve my problem, because what I want are devices that are specifically not designed to just be cloud-connected thin-client devices. I doubt regulation is going to entirely prevent this class of device from existing. And it's only going to get worse: look at what Microsoft is doing, they're literally trying to shift Windows into being a fucking cloud service.

Legislation is the most direct way to solve multi-agent coordination problems, which is what this is. The majority of consumers want cheaper easier products, but in aggregate that leads to negative outcomes for society where we have traded off important values that can't compete on price.
The problem is getting voters and legislators to buy into the idea that those values are important and not worth trading off.
