Have you noticed that a parent's default way to protect a child's security w/ tech (lock the device, tightly restrict what they can do, spy on everything) is exactly the same approach most vendors use to protect an adult customer's security?

It's because most vendors think of customers as children that must be protected from themselves by removing as much agency and control as possible. This also makes customers completely dependent on them.

@kyle Most adult users really behave like children, and I think most of them really want them vendor to protect them this way
