First of all, to give words to the obvious question here: what leads a group of people to flaunt their insanely unethical desire to profit from <insert antonym of freedom>? They are literally trumpeting the ability for their clients to forcibly copy data without the permission of the owner of the device in question. Is it just money? Is it that simple?

Probably.

I've met a lot of people who argue against the right to privacy. Most of those people are in positions where they profit from trampling people's privacy in some way: social media integrations, profiting from advertising, law enforcement/spying, or simply deprioritizing security. Lots of those folks are on Hacker News.
