That is ABSOLUTELY the point we are trying to make! For the general population.....that's grandma and grandpa......buying the latest Ford Focus....
If they can see what it's doing, they can CHANGE what it's doing. And if you don't know what YOU are doing, you can brick your system. End of story.
Edit: Now......with that said......who has the bigger audience......the developer that locks up their software so that people can't go willy nilly all over it, but it's stable as a rock?
Or....the developer that lets EVERYONE in to do whatever they want to the code, even those that have never even SEEN code.
The best example is right here in this forum. Streetdeck is, to a large degree, locked up. However, it is open just enough for people to get themselves into a lot of trouble. Why are there so many bugs listed? I'm running the latest and greatest and I don't see any of them (ok, a little white lie, but play along. I'm going somewhere with this). Why is that? Is the program at fault? Is the developer? Take a look at every problem and see who gets blamed.
