      Because making a power user take a more complicated path to achieve something is better than having an incopetent user brick their entire machine by accident?

        Dunno if you saw the recent Android news, but the problem here is that we’ve passed “Make a power user take a more complicated path” and reached “Forbid them from ever doing it”

        this is not a “more complicated” path. this is a path that will purposely lock you out of other features, some of which you may be obliged to use. that or they won’t even make it a possibility and you can go hunting for unpatched exploits to regain control over your own device.
