I'm on your side of the argument, but I take issue with the black and white "You pay for an x-box and own it". For any computer hardware that I pay for, I don't feel lime I truly own it unless I can run my own code on it. Technically, I can rent an EC2and do that, but MSFT won't let me run a hello world on an X86 computer :/

Computers are complex enough that there is more than one dimension to ownership (in fact, if you consider how many computers are inside your computer, it'll quickly get fractal), but the argument still applies to whichever ownership dimensions you care about.
