You can put aside the tech side for a minute and reflect on how dangerous the following idea is:
"If you don't have anything to hide, then it should be perfectly okay for you to let us put software limitations on your own hardware that you purchased with your own money so that we can decide what you can and cannot do with it, but that shouldn't bother you as you normally wouldn't do stuff with it that we deem illegal anyway, and if you don't agree with us then you're just a criminal."
Because that is essentially what they're telling you.
