None of these things requires "locking down phones." Every single thing you've mentioned can be done in a smarter way that doesn't involve "individuals aren't allowed to modify the devices they purchase."

You can't make a statement like that and provide no examples. What are some of your ideas for doing that?

I'm very against the changes Google are doing, but I'm also against the claim that "people who get scammed are stupid and deserve it".
