The truth be known, in many industries you simply can't let people do what they want. Highly regulated industries come to mind.
But...there's truth in what you said, and the new era is going to cause that "attitude" some problems. People own their own tablets, and mobile broadband, and they can simply bypass you for much of what they want/need. Of course, from my own point of view, and I'm sure from Justin's too, what they're doing over a 3g network is no danger to my lan/wan.
Very often users simply will not accept the fact that there are rules and procedures for using corporate equipment. Sometimes this bureaucracy serves the company's purpose, sometimes it serves a bureaucrats private purpose, which is wrong, but is not unique to IT.
Times are a changing though. It will be interesting to see what the future holds.
