what makes you think blocking was the point?
Consider - you can buy a computer without the blocking *right*now* for an extra $20, or wait until a block-enabled device becomes available.
Who gets the $20?
Before you get this computer without the blocking, you need to supply some ID so they can register your details....ahem...check your age, so the sale is recorded as being to a proper person.
Who checks the proof of age? (and presumably records it in case an unblocked computer accidentally gets to an underage person)
Perhaps the point is that the technology isn't available......
How else do you raise a $20 tax on every computer sold and keep a track of what people are doing with them?
