What people here think about actually leasing a device (clearly stated that this is happening) along with a plan like this? Would it make sense?

Of course switching what happened from "you get a device with your subscription" to "you're allowed to use our device while subscribed" is a huge clawback. That's not what I'm asking - if they had started with the latter model, what do you think, would it work in such cases?
