They need to make the rule "not my keys, not my device."
You should be able to replace the signing keys for the primary bootloader with your own, and root access needs to be available to consumers who bought anything with a CPU in it.
If we count microcontroller as CPUs, that would include basically anything that runs with electricity. But I like that thought even more that way
Microcontrollers would be included in this. Also, not everything that runs on electricity needs to have a microprocessor in it, like toasters for example.
A lot of toasters do have microprocessors thoughβ¦
