How is it even legal for a company to decide what you can or can't install in your own device?
Ugghhhh, its THEIR OS you're using. Perfect example is Nintendo.
You mean the original NES which they tried in court to stop unlicensed carts and lost, right? Right?
Moreso now with Switch 2s getting bans for using 3rd party accessories/those not working outright since they lack some baked in h/w ID that Sw2 checks for online
"If you want to replace Internet Explorer with Netscape Navigator, why not just use Solaris or OS/2 or something? It's THEIR OS you're using" didn't go over too well with the courts.
