The point which I think I am failing to convey is not about limiting what a person whom owns a computer can do with it. Instead, it is that computers interacting with other computers can be introduced to code which is not "whatever you want with Windows", but instead "whatever someone else wants to do with your Windows."

In the case you presented above, nowhere is there consideration of malicious actors. Were this not a real concern, there would be no market for virus scanners (be they for Windows or other operating systems).

Here is an exercise to try out - replace first person tense in the text above with the equivalent of "someone other than me."
