There’s some value to being able to lock a device against somebody who physically has control of it. Like it is nice that stolen iPhones have reduced value.

But there’s a pretty big social harm to locking people out of their devices, like the generation of tech-illiterate kids growing up that haven’t been allowed to break their computers well enough to learn anything about them.
