I think you overestimate the level of tech competency in the world, significantly, and this colours your entire take on this area.
I think people who want open devices should show their support by buying open devices, and leave the rest of humanity happy in their walled gardens

I'm not saying better UX would help in all cases, but there's a huge heap of issues with security warnings from operating systems which, I think, are largely responsible for effects you're observing. If a warning requires that a user is tech competent, it's a bad warning.
