sean1818, you said it should be easy for modders to crack the box because only supervisor would have to be compromised. Maybe you are not realising, that supervisor is a part of the CPU. In order to hack it would require modifications at chip level. While I'm not saying it would be completely impossible for someone to start decapping the CPU and modifying the chips with laser or so, the costs would become so great that there would not be much point. Definitely it wouldn't be doable by end users at home.
