The manufacturer isn't responsible the same way spoon makers aren't responsible for making people fat. As for locking out a persons phone using GPS, not everyone has their GPS turned on. Some turn it off to save on battery life and some turn it off because they don't like the thought of something (or someone) knowing their location all the time. Not to mention the increased cost of development of a feature and it's implementation, factor in that there are already GPS spoofing apps for your smartphone and you've negated any well meaning.
