** If the third film is any indication, Skynet didn't invent the Terminators itself it's repurposing an older military robotic soldier project. In that case the read/write option was probably designed by the original creators and isn't something that Skynet came up with. Granted, it could possibly alter the chips but we don't really know the situation. Skynet might have thousands of already built chips pre war that it wants to use up to make efficient use of it's resources rather than designing and mass producing it's own chip variant that has no write option.

** By the time Skynet became self-aware it had already been given control over the US's nuclear weapons. In Doctor Who, the Time Lords ran into a similar problem when they created a planet-killing weapon that became sentient. What do you do with a weapon of mass destruction that is now capable of judging you?

**Yes it was a very risky move. However, Sarah was keeping the T-1000 at bay before getting shot in the leg, and the helicopter was nearly close enough for it to “spill” into the van via the hole it used to break in, so Arnold needed to think fast.

**** The "locked CPU" is a thing only in the extended version, and in the theatrical version the line of dialgue where the T-800 describes the CPU actually makes it clear it's always in write mode (which IMO makes sense, as it is supposed to be always learning and adapting). Ultimately it's up to the viewer to consider one over the other as canon, but for what is worth Cameron himself says in the commentary track that the theatrical version is the one he considers the "perfect" version of the movie.

** People in hospital, even secure mental health facilities, are allowed to choose their own hairstyles if they have the mental capacity to do so. Sarah clearly has that capacity, so it would be considered part of her care plan that she was allowed that option. People, even back in the nineties, were not forced to get specific haircuts and secure mental facilities were not prisons. That sort of thinking went out with the fifties, and even the most resistant to change institution had implemented those changes by the late seventies. In this case RealityIsUnrealistic. As to why Sarah kept her long hair, she simply preferred it that way.
