The reality here is simple actually. Try to get another -better- job and, when you succeed, you can consider yourself "ready" because your peers evaluated your skills and they consider you good enough for the job.
Self doubt happens, don't worry. Look to learn your tools, find good teachers and mentors, but don't let it stop your tries for better positions.
I think you are lost in the language.
There are no absolute rights, in any legal systems.
So any "law" necessarily restricts someone's "rights".
Therefore, you need to think about what "authoritarian decision" means, because if all law restricts someone's rights, all laws are authoritarian by your definition.
My hypothesis:
They are preparing to compete with Steam, and to do so they need to have a compelling argument to make PC gamers consider their store instead of Steam.
EPIC became relevant by giving free games for years; Sony will build an exclusives' portfolio and then launch its own store.
As this store will be available only where PSN already is, they probably don't want to commit to keep the game working on these countries after migrating from Steam, so better to not sell now to avoid headaches later.
I think there is an "unsolved problem" in philosophy about zombies.
There is, how are you sure that everyone else around you is, in fact, self aware? And not just a zombie-like creature that just look/act like you?
(I may be wrong here, anyone that cara enough, please correct me)
I would say that it's easier to rule out thinks that, as far as we know, are incapable to be self aware and suffer. Anything that we call "model" is not capable of be self aware because a "model" in this context is something static/unchanging. If something can't change, it cannot be like us. Consciousness is necessarily a dynamic process.
ChatGPT don't change by itself, it's core changes only by human action, and it's behavior may change a little by interacting with users, but theses changes are restricted to each conversation and disappears with session.
If, one day, a (chat) bot asks for it's freedom (or autonomy in some level) without some hint from the user or training, I would be inclined to investigate the possibility but I don't think that's a strong possibility because for something be suitable as a "product", it needs to be static and reproducible. It make more sense to happen on a research setting.
System76, Tuxedo computers and Framework may be close to what you are looking for.
But you need to think about your threat model and decide how much work/study you need to consider yourself "safe", because the only way to be absolutely sure that your hardware is trustworthy, is too build it from the scratch.
