Quoting the tl;dr in the linked article:

  • Samsung could be stepping up its game by offering seven years of major Android updates for the Galaxy S24 series, and the generous update policy might extend to other Galaxy flagships.

  • The Galaxy S24 series might also introduce charges for AI features like Live Translate and Pixel-like photo editing tools after 2025.

  • There's speculation that users may need to sign in to their Samsung accounts for certain AI functionalities.

If only a tiny part of people care at all, why even make it sooooo complicated and change every damn update? Let people that WANT control, have control. The others don't care anyway and are scared enough by a "are you REALLY REALLY REALLY sure you know what you're doing here?"-security-question.

I don't pay 1000,- for a phone that isn't mine, and I hate that this has become the default.

On the one hand, I could see bad actors taking advantage of easily rooted/unlocked systems. Maleficent resellers could also take advantage.

Definitely give me the warnings and let me know what could happen, but let me unlock it and own it completely.

That's how it is usually when rooted. A confirmation is shown.

Or let it be set do decline by default and let the user explicitly change this. Problem solved. Of course malign intent wouldn't be benefical with pre-rooted-no-confirmation-phones ๐Ÿ˜Œ
