That's very interesting. I can see why people would be disturbed by the prospect of this happening. Do you have any idea of what the logic is behind this strategy (locking down ARM but not x86)? I will have to think about it more. The best guess I have now is they are trying to innocuously get the concept of total lock down mode established so they can spread it to other platforms at a later date.

I'm reminded of the words of Winston Churchill:

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender,

---
Our job is to remind ourselves that there are more contexts
than the one we’re in now — the one that we think is reality.
-- Alan Kay
