True. Same reason if you go to a restaurant and they started charging for the tap water a fee, even a nominal fee, you would have a negative reaction (unless of course all restaurants did that and it for some reason became accepted practice).

People don't want to pay for something that has no value to them but they will accept features that have no value if they feel they are included in a total price of what they are buying (except of course when they can compare products and make a decision not to buy a product because a competitive one is cheaper etc.)
