I empathize with this position: there are a lot of people out there who are discovering that they don't really own the content they've paid for, because they're tied to electronic ecosystems they have no control over.

That being said: I don't think the world is necessarily a worse place if (1) everybody's devices are more secure, and (2) consumers are a whole are disincentivized from buying into ecosystems that fundamentally don't respect their rights. At the risk of sounding like the luddite you mentioned: maybe we really could use a little separation between technology and literally every other domain of our lives.
