Of course it's their prerogative, we can still talk about how they've limited some good options.

I think your analogy is poor, because this is a tool for makers. The engineers aren't the makers.

I think a more apt analogy is if John Deere made a universal harvester that you could use for any crop, but they decided they didn't like soybeans so you are forbidden to use it for that. In that case, yes I would complain, and I would expect everyone else to, as well.




I think there's an interesting parallel between your John Deere harvester and the Nvidia GPUs that can-but-restricts crypto mining, which people have, indeed, largely complained about.
