I don't think you should be legally mandated to make it easy, but if you sell a product to someone you shouldn't be allowed to stop them using it in the way they want to. If you do choose to retain control over how they can use the device then you should accept there might need to be regulation over what limits you can put in place in order to stop you doing things that are anti-competitive.
> Apple doesn't stop you from doing anything with your device, Apple thugs won't break your kneecaps if you subvert their restrictions.
Apple has added code that's explicitly built just to prevent running code without their approval. They even add code that prevents usage of compatible periphelas that don't have their own DRM chip. They've built dedicated hardware just to lock you out of doing "anything" with your device.
That's a really really bizarre definition of "doesn't stop you".
