I understand the hacker rationale to have fun owning the device, and i would like it to stay that way.
But... please do not forget that the CRA will put a heavy blanket on that fire.

TLA syndrome strikes again, I have no idea what CRA refers to here.
Cyber Resilience Act [1], which is well-intentioned, and doesn't outright forbid user access to firmware, but most vendors will take the easy road and outright block user-modifiable software (if they didn't already), so that their completely closed source, obfuscated and vulnerable version is the only version allowed on their devices.

Ah, EU-only. That explains why I've never heard of it, among other things.
