I'm also a dev and I prefer the lockdown. There's plenty of other computing equipment that is not locked down, and the restrictions only really apply to a tiny amount of use-cases. For instance, I would have had no trouble learning to code if I was growing up now on a modern Macbook – or even an iPad. (In fact it would be loads better than QuickBASIC. I am so envious of techie kids now.)
