> The Freedoms are based on the notion that you should have the right to do what you will with hardware you own

Then why do they keep trying to own our devices? Why do we have all this attestation nonsense designed to subvert our ability to do what we will with the hardware we own?

> you don't own someone else's hardware in the Cloud

Then they should keep their ownership in the cloud where it belongs. My software will talk to their software through the network boundary. All is well.

Dictating what software I can or can't use on my machine to talk to their software is an invasion of my territory. It shouldn't matter whether I use their official app, my own custom client or some curl script to achieve my own ends. If they're going to try and usurp control of my machine, then I'm gonna start relativizing their "freedoms" as well.
