I'm going to assume you're coming from a place of ignorance here.

A significant portion of people (often > 50) will absolutely follow this process if guided maliciously. Many people are incapable of grokking a warning message, as using a misunderstood device already sets their anxiety high.

I'm not saying Apples method is necessarily the right method, but stating that these people aren't worth protecting - or at least not worth protecting at the cost of opening up a device you bought knowing it was closed and had alternatives for - comes across as callous as best.
