Because people buy consumer electronics to use for their intended purpose and not for tinkering. Look around your home. Your clothes could fit better, your couch could be comfier, your locks could be more secure, your coffee brewer could make better coffee. Most anything from could be improved by taking it apart and redoing it. Why are you not?

    None of those things generate billions from selling my personal life and could never get me locked in a prison for a crime I was thought to commit some time in the future.

    None of them can leak our private family conversations or media...

    None of them can be hacked into to steal all our money...

    I mean I see your point... But those aren't really equivalent
