My fear is that something similar will slowly happen to everything "compute". How long before my bank's website won't let me login if I don't use a computer with secure boot and a browser installed from an app store? McDonalds app on Android won't run on a de-googled or rooted device... At this point one may argue that there will always be computers that you can compile and install your own Linux. Yes, that is true. But just like I am not likely to have un-googled andorid for some apps and googled one for others, the same way it won't be practical to have one computer for some apps and the other one for others. And the one that will win will be the one that lets you login into your bank account, for simple and practical reasons.
