I’d say it’s more like your hairdresser tracking how long you are in their store and what haircut you get- but you do you!

I'm not married to the analogy, just totally flabbergasted that "Using your own software on your own computer when and how you see fit without being watched" appears to be a slightly controversial aspiration for no (to me) apparent reason. Evidently I'm missing something, not explaining myself very clearly or both.
