If it's the principle that they had the software in place in the first place, then don't forget your Eris was updated multiple times to patch exploits needed for rooting. So...Motorola isn't the only one guilty of doing this.

eFuse is not the same as a locked bootloader. And it doesn't matter if's been cracked. It's the fact that Motorola saw fit to take the "protection" one step further than other manufacturers.
To go back to the software DRM comparison. I can accept some DRM, such as Steam, when it gives additional features. Ubisoft took it to the extreme with their DRM and Activision removed features from MW2 in order to implement their DRM. I will not give money to a company that implements DRM beyond what I consider reasonable.
