Cell companies will sell connectivity to whoever will buy it though. Cars, watches, and anything IoT they can get their signal to.

For ~$30/mo in the US per device, hence why most people cannot justify owning multiple LTE-connected devices.
I think they would happily negotiate that price down to nil per month, if they could be absolutely sure a 'device' on your account wasn't actually your cousin 'sharing' your cellular account to save a bit of money.
Anecdotally, I've seen it closer to $10/month for car or smartwatch, and $0 for Kindle though I'm not entirely sure if they're still shipping cellular. Tablets are closer to that $20-$30, though.
