Sure, but what's "essential"?

Being able to decide yourself the software that is allowed to run on the hardware you own.

  • But you have that ability. There's a one-off 24 hour wait.

    You have a similar wait if you get it shipped to you from Amazon.

    Is the instant gratification essential?

    • Whether it's essential or not is up to the user, who should be able to load whatever operating system they want (enabling them to bypass the restriction) on their bootloader-unlockable device.

    • Until they alter the deal. And pray they don't alter it further. Being unable to see possible evolutions but talking about "instant gratification" is a beautiful contradiction.
