This is abominable, there's literally no reason other than "It costs money to maintain this, and we'd rather make money selling new stuff than support what we already made". I have a v2 bridge, but back when I bought it about 3 1/2 years back, I payed a lot of money for it. It's not an expensive product to manufacture, so I expected that money to go towards supporting it long term. So much for that.

You paid a lot of money for the bridge? It comes with the starter packs? I know a few people with these systems that have v2 bridges piled up at home as it was cheaper to get the starter kits and a bonus bridge than it was to buy the bulbs individually.

I personally piled some v2 bridges in the trash for this same reason. It feels vaguely like shucking external hard drives. The garbage piles up higher.
