Thanks, you missed the point.

I said the thread is FUD because essential tooling is baked into the OS that invalidates the central thesis of the thread. Your response was, “haha ok now try that on a separate platform that requires a well known upfront premium to circumvent binary integrity protection, because consequences are much more significant, lolz”. And I responded with “yes, confirmed circumvention possible after paying small fee”.

Or were you saying something else that I misunderstood?

The point is, you do not have control over your own device and need permission - after paying a fee - to do things freely with your own device.
