Neither am I. I don't disagree that Google is overstepping with the restrictions they're imposing lately. It's a point I'll damn well argue, myself.
The problem I take is with the argument the OP presents, because it incorrectly suggests that the average user has (or should have) an expert-level knowledge of their devices. Safety rails exist for a reason. Yes, they're going too far; but no, removing them outright would not be the better solution.
