Proprietary software may run anything, this really does not matter as those devices are not under ownership of the user. If it runs on somebody's else computer it is not affecting the user who does not own the computer or user's data. What matters is that third parties should not request or ask that people install proprietary software and run it on personal devices as that way people lose control over their computing. If that is so, then whichever party asks or demand by the law or some other rule to run the proprietary software than this party should guarantee by some value the functionality of software and that could be acceptable if the party demanding it or government, PROVIDES THE DEVICE, where that software would exclusively run. That is very similar to various devices like heart beat or pulse measurement or watches where inside proprietary software runs but does not affect the user nor user's data. As if any law is enacted to run some software then that law cannot demand people to buy smart phones or computers, the law must also say that devices will be provided to people. Though I am against such new laws, and I consider it fascism. We are in the new fascism area. Nobody should force people to install proprietary software on THEIR devices as that is abuse of human rights.
