Nobody is arguing that computers shouldn't have safety mechanisms. But the manufacturers of those devices don't have remote control over what I do with them. There's no equivalent of a "curated App Store" (and one that requires a 30% cut to the manufacturer, which is the real point behind it).
The equivalent would be if you could only use specific brands of replacement chains, blades, tires, or bullets that are approved by the manufacturer, for which the manufacturer gets a cut of the sales of those replacements.
