Most of the world consumer law is very clear that if you give a license to use something, and its sold as "buy" rather than "rent" or "time limited" , its not revokable
Then what you are describing is not at all a license.

We never ever bought software to truly be able to do with it as we pleased. If this were the case, every piece of software would cost from dozens of thousands to billions of dollars per sale made. After all, nothing would've prevented the first buyer from legitimately making and selling copies of or otherwise sharing it with whoever they wanted.

I beg to differ. Acts of rebellion like this can land the "rebel" fined at best and in prison at worst.

If Musk is correct, Altman carried out probably the worst case of fraud against a non-profit and its donors in American history.

It is somewhat correct. For one like Linux, Darwin is open-source.
It WAS. I challenge you to provide a link to Darwin sources of MacOS 26.

Despite what you claim you clearly didn't read the link the GP posted. It's a massive list of stuff that's disabled that people would find an iDevice barely useful without.
It's not a "massive list" and the things mentioned are barely an inconvinience (oh noes, Photos drops location details and Facetime doesnt work unless you had contact within 30 days, oh noes). The biggest would be restrictions on the web browser and you can have per-site exclusions.
So what the fuck are you talking about?

Because it would be unusable. Lockdown mode is pretty severe, it's not something you want to deal with day to day.
I am reading through the list in your link and I don't get it - what part of this is supposed to be "unusable"?

I'm surprised you're a fan of the Alien franchise if people making bad decisions that get them or other people killed is a deal-breaker for you.
You clearly aren't a fan. If you were, you'd knew the precise movie where instead of being competent and making the right decisions and getting fucked anyway, the franchise turned to supposedly smart people doing dumb shit all the time.
