"If you want control, compile an open source operating system from source and install that on a device." I'm literally not allowed to on my own potentially $1000 hardware, that's the problem.
No one is asking anyone to poke holes in APIs, we're asking for access to the features that do exist on our own phones. We aren't even asking apple to lift a finger beyond access to run our own unsigned code on our own phones by some method, which they definitely could provide and make prohibitively difficult for grandma getting scammed.
I know it would be possible because people regularly find exploits to make it so.
