The "business" ended when the sale transaction concluded. The fact that you were the seller in that past transaction doesn't entitle you to vandalize goods that now belong to someone else.

This is just crime trying to disguise itself as legitimate business, as scams often do.

Actually not, though not in a way that makes the rest of your post incorrect.

Various laws and regulations state that the seller has responsibilities to the buyer after the initial transaction has completed, one of which Bambu might¹ be transgressing by removing features that people we lead to believe were part of the product, and could reasonably expect to remain part of the product, at the time of the sale.

I've been treated this way numerous times. First example: FlightRadar - I bought the app, they sunsetted it and created "new one" with monthly payments
