That’s not a great analogy.

Apple sells a computer with an extra Siri service. You return it and they resell to another consumer who has the option to purchase the Siri package.

Seems reasonable to me.

It can be looked at like if you buy Final Cut Pro from apple, when you trade in the MacBook they reset it thereby removing that application

The next owner doesn't get final cut pro just because you purchased it

In that case, the original owner keeps their FCP license. Does Tesla allow auto pilot to be transferred to a new model?

If you sold FCP back to Apple with the computer, it’s all fine. Problem is - Apple gives laptop with licensed FCP to computer dealer to sell, dealer puts up price for “MBP+FCP”, then Apple remotely wipes it claiming it was there by mistake. At the very least a large misstep for Apple, and misrepresentation on the dealer’s part. Customer who buys it did nothing wrong.
