The most dystopian concept out of everything you mentioned is still "you can't install unsigned software" to me.

Good luck preventing people from loading up a web page that runs a pure JavaScript (or WebAssembly) implementation of common cryptography algorithms and lets people copy and paste each other encrypted messages.
Chat Control wants to require on-device scanning, so if this becomes common they can move to mandating scanning at the OS or browser level as well.
Good luck convincing American tech to take on a liability like this. There's a reason big tech is moving to e2e encryption like Signal and it isn't user privacy. Telling governments to fuck off because you don't have the data limits liability.
"Luck" wasn't what coerced American tech businesses into subsuming the PRISM program liability. Your naivete is admirable though.
