If enough people wake up to the topic how important device and software control is for the owner there will be pure market pressure and current Apple kinda lack the salesman Steve that is able to override privacy concerns in the public.
Also we should have good streamlined legal process to declare software platforms "common carriers" when they are above certain size or market share with all the benefits and responsibilities that come from that. And lets hope cases like that will be greatly reduced.
