Strawman: The entire issue of "Tivoization" and the rationale behind much of the GPL3 is precisely the attempts by hardware vendors to prevent even wholesale replacement of software on their machines. Regardless of your particular opinion of RMS's approach, the UEFI time bomb demonstrates that he was right to be concerned.
