For instance there will always be a market for custom computing and "PCs", and so non-locked PCs will (hopefully) always exist in a capitalist environment.

Unfortunately, that market is slowly becoming the minority, and because those "more free" devices may have limitations that make them incompatible with a lot of proprietary content (which is the majority) and circumventing those limitations could be illegal and difficult, there will be fewer users of them.

Reminds me of this https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html and the old saying "If you outlaw freedom, only outlaws will have freedom."
