I'm not surprised! It seems like a reasonable option for those who have no initial capital to pay for their lease.

But for those who come with capital ready, it can be a horrible deal. Being made to accept that option when you don't need it means you end up wasting much more money than you otherwise would.

Same happens in the app store, in its absence of an option between these methods.
