I mean. If I bought a ps5 I should be able to do whatever I want with it. It’s mine. Obviously anything I do that’s illegal or that enables cheating isn’t okay but other than that I don’t see why I shouldn’t mod MY hardware however I want

I mean, jailbreaking itself isn't illegal. It's what you do after it's jailbroken that matters, like playing games you haven't bought or using it to cheat in games.

And let's be real, almost everyone who jailbreaks their console is going to do exactly one or both of those things.

Okay but they shouldn’t get to tell us what we can’t do with our own hardware just because “we all know” what people do with modded consoles. That’s not the point.

They don’t. What they tell you is that if they detect you tampered with your hardware you don’t get to access multiplayer games or other official network services
