The problem is that you don't own the right to use your own device the way you see fit, and are instead locked into systems you can't escape from.

You should be able to freely install the software you like, be that an OS, a third party app or even your own program, and you should be able to use all the features of your devices, freely, without being locked out due to the app or accessory not being first party.
