    Even without the privacy concerns, I think it removes the sovereignty of your own computer.

    I decide what code I run on my computer.

    A few years ago I had some peripheral that started iTunes Music.app every time I plugged it in. (Bluetooth headphones, I think). As I don’t use it, and there was no way to disable it I figured i could just delete it.

    Nope! Music.app is a system application on a read-only partition shadowed on your root filesystem. Apparently it is possible by booting with the partition in read-write developer mode, but you’ll get to do it all over again with every update.
