Could it be that the ability to more fully control a computer, e.g., a router, makes the computer more valuable?

What use are greater feature specifications if the user does not have anything close to full control over the computer?

How about a computer that where the seller makes it deliberately difficult to open, or impossible to add RAM, or threatens repair shops with litigation?

When the user powers on, the computer immediately starts phoning home to various endpoints controlled by the seller and the user cannot turn this off. Are users presumed to be inept?

Does it matter if this computer has a sexier form factor and better specifications, not to mention a higher price tag, than another one without the restrictions on tinkering?
