Yes right now, what about 5 to 10 years from now ?

Or maybe for that option in the future, the device will cost thousands of USD more.

Or you need a special professional license to get a non-locked down device, and the license will cost more than a house in a rich suburb.

People have been asking "what about five years from now" for twenty years, so extrapolating from the current rate of change, I'd say things will be fine.
