This should be a right of the consumer that purchased the hardware. Same goes for gaming consoles. You used to be able to officially install Linux on a PlayStation.
I’d be okay with it even if it were on a time delay.
Like if device manufacturers had to publish their software in order to no longer officially support the device that would be a welcome compromise and at least a step in the right direction right?

Yeah agreed to an extent but I would say a massive portion of those who installed linux attempted to pirate games. It makes sense to block it.
I’d prefer to mandate that they allow other stores on the consoles or mandate no advertisements or promotions on the console.
“But we’re selling the hardware at a loss, so letting you own what you paid for would break our crappy business model” /s
