Show me a popular hardware platform that users get to hold in their hands whose users have not dumped the firmware, or at least the firmware decryption key as with virtually every drm solution in history.

I have multiple Samsung Qualcomm smartphones which to this day do not have an unlocked bootloader. Ironically one reason to choose the otherwise terrible Exynos.

And even on the ones which do, you lose access to some hardware features -- the very definition of tivoization...

Xbox One is probably the closest. I'm not aware of any Xbox One games being decrypted.
