I think this is a great idea but for whatever reason, hardware that is disabled until I pay pisses me off. I understand the logic behind it and it's probably a win for both the company and the consumers. But it's still distasteful to me. Anyone else feel that way?

It's not just you. It's not a win for the customer although people might tell you it is. Feels like dystopian sci-fi where people have to pay for everything and own nothing.
