Exactly. This control-freak nature of manufacturers is sadly what makes me cheer for the security holes much of the time.

Yet here we are, in this thread, discussing why LG is spying on us.

While some stuff are legit issues such as ADR, people now think they are wire-tapping. Because somebody used a rooted device to show-case recording silently through their device.

Can you blame corporations having this control-freak nature when shit like this happens?

It's stuff like this that likely pushes corporations now to invest more into device security, and locking down their stuff more.

Good for security and the corporation.

Maybe mid-term good for you consumer, because they might get more cautious with tracking stuff.

But long-term bad for you consumer, too, because they will make sure to lock down their devices better.
