Apple (or anyone else) should not be allowed to violate / subsume consumer rights for its own business interests. Consumers should have access to the system literature of a device and be able to unlock the bootloaders and install any other OSes on it.

Locking down a system is also the way to prevent people from installing rootkits, fraudulent banking apps, bypassing the CSAM filter or defeating DRM. I think it's delusional to expect governments to blanket ban locking down computers. Most governments would likely try to gain that kind of power themselves.
