don't you think this security first approach is bad for our society? If walled golden cages like iOS become the only available option, average users will have an even harder time to get into general purpose computing and programming. Generation iPad doesn't even know what a file system is anymore.

And updating an existing product i own to kill its main function i use for work is outright evil.

It's like your car pushing an update restricting it to only drive on vendor approved roads, because there are some people getting in accidents on poorly maintained dirt roads.
