Would be nice for an inverse article -- which is often harder to achieve -- case in point: I wish iCloud had a power user interface.

Oh, it has one, it's just not available to you.

FOSS's issue isn't that they trust users too much, it's that they aren't taking different types of users into account.

Corporate-built software that's locked down or limited like iCloud is 100% about not trusting the users.
