It's only considered evil if it doesn't also produce dial-up noises.
But since op didn't clarify, let's just assume evil.

That's a very nice case tho.
A post like this is a disservice to ~~the majority~~ everyone.
Even harmful as it promotes software that should be run only on rare hardware (eg RISC-V with all the fully hardware level open peripherals too) the extremely vast majority of users don't not have any practical access to.
All with the premise on some technicality you don't even explain (bcs then it would make it obvious, why such distros shouldn't be used by majority).
And you don't even mention that.
Not to mention saying that Linux distros are as bad as Windows locking you into closed code.
I mean lol. That's is just intentionally dishonest.
It's like claiming hydrogen gas is harmful to you in the same way as "standing" on the surface of the Sun.
This post makes me feel sad, bcs the basis you hinge on is an important PSA to spread around.
How else am I ever gonna get a decent open-hardware PC?
(And just to not be misunderstood, I love what FSF strands for and is doing all this time, it's a beacon for the way forward - but we have to navigate to there.)
It's an investment by the megacorps (with gov monies) into keeping the plebs in check, to not get any ideas around equity or social reform.
That depends on the brand and location (& in some cases even warranty tos, lol), manufacturers licence & maintain ~~dealerships~~ licenced mechanics/shops differently. It's (maintenance costs & quality) an important aspect of owning a car.
But generally, yes.
Tho non-official shops sometimes connect your car to the mothercloud too, depending on what needs servicing.
Won't the dealership also send all the now only locally stored data to their servers anyway (even if they don't fix the connection, just automatically by plugging in OBD)?
That's how that happened before always-online cars (pre 2010).
My brainhole keeps saying it's Sony.
Don't do that ...
