It is not self-evident to me that people under 18 should "own [their] computers" or have unrestricted "freedom".

Think about how the proposed idea would most likely be implemented. It would be used as justification for manufacturers to sell devices that the end use doesn't control. They already do that; this would give them legal justification.
