I'd disagree.you can still sell it's break it, throw it out of a window, and so on. But control is outsourced. And it has to be, because developing your own system is too impractical. It's not a bad thing that your OS is controlled by orgs, they push updates and software we don't even know about that makes stuff work. But it's a bad thing when that org is scummy, like M$
