Yeah that's fair.

I wouldn't be best impressed if they killed a device and locked you out.

Luckily someone actually did hack it: https://openrt.gitbook.io/open-surfacert

Would you be interested in using something like that to run Linux or Windows 10?

Linux for sure, they weren't the beefiest devices even for the time, wow someone finally got the rt2 unlocked fully? Appreciate the link, going to have to dig mine out.

I don't think it will necessarily be an easy process, and their are some limitations. Still it's good to see.
