I was nodding in agreement for a few seconds. Then I realized I'm not perfect. If I hack my own device I'm going to make a mistake and kill myself. Since that isn't a desired goal I don't want to be tempted.
I want the device to be perfect so I don't have to think about it. Some devices should just work and not be thought of. (I include the refrigerator in this group)

Yes, but you are speaking in ideals. In the real world, that is incredibly rarely the case. So the choice is between a locked-down, heavily imperfect device or an open one that comes with that risk, caveat emptor.
It depends on the device. My company produces pacemakers and neuromodulation devices. I wouldn't want to hack the pacemaker but if I had a neuromodulation device I would totally hack it.
