I feel these companies are forgetting the lessons from the mid 2000’s. When you remove the hardware features from your devices, which only the most advanced users use. It doesn’t mean you’ve locked it down, but instead invited these users to find alternative ways to bypass your security.

PS3 had Linux support. PS3 removed Linux supper. PS3 was cracked wide open.

Xbox One has a Dev mode, devs who wanted to play emulators on their Xboxes could. So the hardware was left be.
