Yes definitely. I feel it's an important distinction to make because otherwise the authoritarians and profiteers of "for your own good" will jump on that and say "See! These stupid users claim not to care about security. We must mandate manufacturers manage that after purchase".

Nobody wants that, least of all manufacturers, unless they can use backdoors to spy on and ransom customers like printer and car makers are starting to.
