The ultimate lesson here is that whatever you most dread in tech today will be the celebrated status quo in 2040, except run by a new set of giant monopoly companies that came out of nowhere

See e.g. https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/ …. DRM-like technology *does* enable privacy, at least sometimes. The fallacy of the anti-TC folks is to think this is about technology, and not transparency and competitive markets.

You can't write "securable software" if you can't control your transitive dependencies and prevent them from being intercepted and modified before you run them by malicious actors, that's the whole point of a verifiable chain of trust, not to prevent installing your own ROMs
