Apple in general has always been a bit further in this direction, but it seems companies are increasingly leaning towards security over freedom, which is perhaps even more scary than insecurity itself. It's a hard position for a company to be in, but I suppose it comes from the fact that it seems receiving negative PR about being insecure is worse than PR about being unfree.

As a memorable saying goes: "The security people won't be satisified until everyone is living in prison."
