I don't see the need for a trade; SIP for example is an Android feature (I'm surmounting your "less-secure" to "Android"); why can they not support replacing the manufacturer keys, just like my UEFI laptop, so that I can modify my OS, build a custom kernel, sign everything and relock the bootloader?

I think we know the answer, and that is; the attitude towards things like mobile phones being different to that of a laptop; we don't really "own" or phones in the same sense and if shouldn't be that way.
