It never used to be this way.
There was a time when you could buy something and it would work, it wouldn't require over the air updates because they shipped it before it was ready in a desperate grab for more money.

The crux of the issue is the "I'm not doing anything wrong" mentality.

Each iteration of removing control wasn't met with resistance. It was reward with purchase. Then reinforced with future purchase. I don't care, I don't have anything to hide... X feature doesn't impact me anyway... etc. etc.

Fifty or so loops later... here we are. Some folk have notice the noose tightening and are starting to wriggle.
As opposed to not standing on the swinging platform to begin with (and paying for the priviledge).
