I wouldn't pay for a 25% faster bootup unless it was an emergency life-saving device. You'd have to sell me something significantly better and worth my money, like any other seller in the world has to do with their product, from computers, to cars, to fast food.

I'm not sure that a software upgrade would require FDA approval, but product testing is a cost incurred by anyone in any industry. Even a new burger recipe would be tested at the restaurant's own expense. That doesn't seem to justify a subscription model (after paying the initial cost of the device, etc).
