If you think these hardware cryptographic security measures are actually about customer security and not vendor control, I have printers to sell you that reject refilled ink cartridges and farm tractors you aren't allowed to repair.

Too many people. The health of the environment is the key to sustaining humans. Any measures taken to save lives at a macro level is a threat to humanity.

Urban dwellers are the dupes of the ruling classes. They are always faced with the edifices of power. Easier to control dependencies of those without direct access to necessary resources. In rural areas, strong policing is required to limit access to resources, but ownership of resources not contained in walls and spread over a large area suffers from appearances of legitimacy and is much harder to police.
Money only has value, if it is the only access to necessary resources.
