let's take this notion of user sovereignty that you speak of and that I espouse a little further than the immediate-term thinking, shall we?

say, the severeign user chooses to rely on a piece of software that claims control over part of the user's life.

next thing you know, the user finds that the program is not exactly what was hoped for, but now the freedom is no longer there to change it as the user sees fit.

the user is no longer sovereign, because of allowing software to take freedom and choice away.

as such unfortunate choices pile up, the user is more and more limited WRT the available possibilities

this is exactly the old philosophical conundrum of freedom to enslave oneself, piecemeal

the only way for the sovereign user to retain freedom is to choose wisely so as to not curtail future freedom, so as to remain sovereign

if you don't stand for that, you're not for user sovereignty, you're for user recklessness
