    proprietary software gives the developer power over their users.

    Agree here, but that’s a much larger issue than just this particular pricing structure.

      Is the artifical segmentation pricing structure possible without lockout software? Software has wide applications but in the end this is about freedom.

      I would like an EV but I want an old dumb car converted as I don’t want the modern car computing systems (unless there’s one that runs a free OS).
