I don't disagree with you at all. My point is that, at least at the moment, this is something that only affects OEMs (and presumably SI companies like CyberpowerPC). It's a big deal still because there is a large number of people unwilling to build themselves a PC for various reasons, and yes they will likely try to go after individual components later down the line to try and force everybody to use cloud services.

It's possible PCs start shipping with bios settings that disable boosting by default or have shit like eco mode enabled to skirt around these regulations, much like monitors do by default with energy saving features. Ultimately shit like this just hinders people that aren't tech savvy, and until they start banning individual components it barely affects knowledgeable people.
