Why would any manufacturer even consider isolating users? Your notion implies Lenovo went out of their way to screw the userbase. Regardless of how you feel, how can you see a decision like that being made?
This does not have a malicious intent. It's probably an oversight by engineering that didn't realistically see this as a plausible scenario on a consumer system, especially an ultrabook. Heck, I even install linux in VMs now rather than overwrite the host OS / dual-boot.
