That's a pendulum that swings both ways, however. Disabling a manufacturer's entire fleet of product when they go out of business is a little bit far on that scale, IMO. Like you said, the right to swing your fist ends at my nose.

That's why I said "how about we stop tethering devices to manufacturer servers" implying that their basic functionality should always be standalone. Why should we be increasing long-term waste by bricking such products?
