Which also means that NON rightful owners can potentially remotely lock and track the phone. Hackers are very good at what they do. But that's neither here nor there.
Say both you and I have Amazon Fire tablets. You want yours to be locked down tight so if someone steals it then it will be non-function for them. Turn it into a brick.
But I want to remove Amazon's FireOS from mine and install standard Android instead. I am not concerned about theft because I only use it at home or in secure locations, and it only cost $49 on sale anyway.
We both bought and paid for our tablets. But only one of us is allowed to use the device in the way we want to.
