Exactly. Rather than passing laws to require a non-digital option for these things, we should make sure that devices are locked down and controlled against users (aka hapless idiots).

Do you think I oppose this?
Seems like you’re pushing for control over user tech here over any sort of other regulation. Other regulation which would be much simpler to coordinate and which wouldn’t infringe on end user freedoms!
Removing end user control, repairability, and hackability/repurposing (all related) should be the very last resort, not the first!

That fits your pattern elsewhere in this thread of not actually engaging with what others are saying to slay strawmen.
Over? No. Regulation and some controls work hand in hand as mitigations.
