The only thing the EFF should demand is that Apple provide an official way to jailbreak.
That's it. The rest of the policies are fine. They can show 100 warning messages, remove any warranty, et cetera - it's their stuff, why would they support it if you hack it?
Of course Apple will never do that. They will not officially provide a way to get the device into unsupported territory. Not because they're evil, or want the money, but because that's against Apple's entire philosophy.
By and large I think the locked down app store is a really good idea - I like it as a user, even. While I can't get some things I'd like to have, it also protects me from the kind of crap that happens on the Android app store.
The locked down app store is the reason I don't need to install "Anti Virus" software from dubious peddlers of scareware. That's something I appreciate to no end.
