The Chain of Trust point is ridiculous also. In fact you could argue that it would ENHANCE the chain
of trust people have in Apple if third parties were able to mess with the iPhone with legal impunity.
Apple could say - just use the apps we provide and those we give our seal through our app store,
and you can have that trust. Otherwise you are on your own, or in the hands of others.

The chain of trust is already "busted" in the sense they're claiming. They're just trying to make it illegal to take advantage of the weaknesses in that chain.
