Most EULAs are atrocious. I shouldn't need to hire a lawyer to buy a consumer product.

The people making these products probably don't want them heavily enforced either. If things actually got to that point nobody would buy their products.

I think they like the current status: you technically owe them your first born but still buy their products. If you do anything they don't like, they can stop you. But people still buy their stuff. Its the best of both worlds for them.

That's exactly my point. There currently isn't anything that forces the consumer realize what they are getting themselves into. If they did, they probably wouldn't be buying the products.
