> you can stil prevent them from excersing that power by not setting an example that it's okay to do so.

And then they'll do it anyway a few years later, when you're not looking. Just look at Google's introduction and continuous tightening of SafetyNet requirements.

And what the hell can you do? Switch to buying Apple, who set the gold standard for this crap years ago? Switch to Purism, which BankID (practically mandatory for life in Sweden, sadly) still hasn't been ported to?

Giving up because of a possibility of something going wrong is just asinine. By that logic you might aswell just waste away right now because we'll all perish in the heat-death of the universe.

You get a chance and you take it. All things bring you towards success one step at a time, as unsatisfying as it might feel.
