I want to jailbreak my device.

The problem is that in the case where there are problems resulting in a need to restore the phone, we may be forced to upgrade to a later operating system even without choosing to. That, in turn, can introduce changes in functionality that we don't want, or cause existing applications to no longer run well.

I can install whatever operating system on my PC I should be able to do it on the Apple devices that I own. I should be able to do it on the android devices that I own and not be limited to only a few firmware packages

Agreed, this should be something I should already be able to do, android, Windows, and MacBooks can so why not iDevices!

I bought my device, it's fully paid for, it's MINE now and I should be able to put whatever software I want on it. Resigning older firm wares is the way to go.

Apple needs to let us be able to downgrade, any other company would.

Sometimes the latest version does not always work as expected with some devices including iPhone,iPad, and iPod

This is a fair compromise to those with old devices that can't afford to upgrade and whose devices are being slowed by new software they weren't built to handle.

I don't see what the big deal is with downgrading.  should support it considering their older devices benefit from it.

This is how it should be and it's up to the consumer to upgrade or downgrade the software on their phones.
