All software ships with bugs. Some of them cause real problems, and are patched in the next firmware rev. Farmers (rightfully) resent being held over a barrel in both time and money for fixes that should be part of already owning the machine. For example, if Ford discovers a flaw in their cars' ABS code that is recall-worthy, that's what happens, and Ford, not the customer, foots the bill.
