  Why? We are paying full price for these devices and nothing in any agreement made at the time of purchase suggests that you don’t own them. Why is it necessary to meet a middle ground between “you got what you paid for” and “you didn’t”?

  I realize you are making a joke, and I agree that purchase is always better than subscription. Everyone in this situation owns their device.

  But that doesn’t mean an easy to activate security bypass should be made available to everyone with no guardrails, either, should it?
