The second is uninteresting because often they can just get your exact product off the same assembly line after hours.
I’ve heard of a third, which is a concern that having the option to load unapproved software somehow compromises the security of everyone else. I don’t buy it.
To do otherwise presents unnecessary risk.

Unnecessary risk to whom? To monopolies that want to control the devices?
I would say the future is requiring open-source flashable firmware to every programmable chip on every piece on industrial or consumer equipment sold.
My vision of the future is farther away than the Signed&Sandboxed, but we should collectively take efforts to minimize damage from the near future of locked down devices controlled by unknown parties.
AI will create perfect Sybil attacks. The reality dictates our need of a signal for humanness. To know an interaction is a real human and not an indistinguishable simulation of one. Picture if the internet was flooded with 100 trillion malign actors and trolls, each tireless, merciless, skilled at both social manipulation and cyber attacks, with no way to tell if they are real people or not. Even a live video call with them cannot be trusted, not even if they look and sound like someone you know.
We're not there yet, but how far out do you feel confidant in saying that will still be the case? Two years? Five?
