I noticed that I've been experiencing a visceral backlash against this. There was a video talking about new woodworking products and almost every one had a recurring cost and they talked up how many patents they had. My first reaction was "I'm never buying this because I refuse to get locked into your ecosystem, and there'll be no supplier for these materials once you fold."
