Think about it: hardware makers will eventually tout their devices' ability to safely run software from anywhere online. History shows Apple already did this. For years, their marketing pushed Mac as the computer that lets you download and install freely—they knew consumers were hungry for both security and freedom.

That ad strategy reveals something real about market demand. Why would they emphasize USB-C compatibility and native downloading? Because people actually want it. Device makers don't market features nobody cares about. The fact that open software installation remains a major selling point proves consumer appetite for control and flexibility.
