Sure, but what if you are merely leasing the car? In that case, you are already paying a monthly fee, so psychologically adding $30 to it for a navigation system isn’t that big of an ask.

It can even be justified by saying that the car isn’t yours to begin with, so the real owner has a right to charge extra for features that will now incur a maintenance cost due to your use.
