Pay $1500 for a laptop and it will often have crapware installed. Buy a $1000 Samsung TV and it will track your viewing, sell the data, and show you ads. Buy a high end dishwasher and seemingly 50% of the logic on the device is to encourage you to use Jet Dry (because they get a kickback per unit from the Finish people, not because it's more than marginally beneficial).
Simply paying alone often isn't enough -- this sort of sleezy behavior is endemic.
