Can you give a reason not to provide the owner with any of:
- A printed copy of the private key corresponding to the chip he paid for.
- A button in the back of the chip that disables "hostile mode" and makes
it sign everything that was asked for (so-called "owner override")
...other than implementing features that restrict the owner?

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
