You’re free to access that functionality of your device, using software that uses it responsibly.

> using software that uses it responsibly.

So using it solely in ways Apple approves of - Since they're the arbiter of "responsible" here.

So how do I own this device again?

Who the fuck is Apple to tell me what responsible use looks like on a device that I own, on a network that I own, in my own damn home.
