Surely you were aware of most of that stuff before you purchased the system OP. New 3DS owner and you are underwhelmed by things like... region locking? You knew that going in... And I don't know about you but I buy a game system to play games. As long as the OS doesn't get in my way of doing that, then I couldn't care less. It's not a smartphone or something. You plug in a game cart and go.
