" Once users are banned from installing applications, or modifying the system security, usability, and more are improved, the Googlers claim."
For years I have fought IT staff who held the position that the computers should never actually be used by putting applications on them. They used the exact same logic shown here.
Google does not trust apps. The reason I got into open source was because I did not trust OS and library vendors.
The reason I have never used Apple products was their attitude of "It you want to do what we don't allow you to do, you are obviously wrong in wanting to do it".
I don't see this as progress.
