As the other two comments point out, you can have the equipment without the software activated. So their guess/"quote" makes an incorrect assumption.

So, what value does it add? It seems to simply exist to make an assumption that makes the other HNer look bad.

This thread is about GM forcibly bundling OnStar into a bunch of their cars. Removing the antenna does nothing to prevent that.

Whether you activate the subscription or not, you're still paying $1500 for it.

Their story doesn't really apply here. Fair enough.

My issue is more with 4chan greentext being a low form of communication.

Almost anything is better than it, like "Well, you'd still be paying the subscription." Even direct snark feels higher level than greentext-style rephrasing.
