Bleeding edge, daily updates to make the product work at a somewhat reasonable level. It's like the users are guinea pigs.

Huh? They release new software/firmware every few weeks. Many people don't bother upgrading, so they don't see any improvements.
The users are guinea pigs. That's how it's always been.
How many products are there in the world that cannot be refined?

Just because a new version or refinement exists, does not invalidate the usefulness of the original, nor does it mean the original users were guinea pigs.

Now when a product has zero utility in it's first version, that's different. But I would argue you should demand your money back at that point.
