I'm not asking for an intrinsic difference: I'm suggesting that if "I can install custom applications/code on this device I own" is a fundamental right, there would need to be an intrinsic difference. My personal opinion is that there is not an intrinsic difference. That "I want to do it to these devices and not those" can't be the justification for it being a right that I'm able to.
To counter your claim, I've tried to explain what that intrinsic difference is in my previous comment.
I am not sure if you are disagreeing with me or ignoring my point :)
