I think it will be this for electronics, and hopefully telsa will be able to provide this for cars. If I cant own it fully, atleast make the subscription service completely hassle free and worth it.

ive been waiting for this since they first announced the iphone upgrade program, sign me up.

In fact this is an answer to the OP about they will hide features. Business is business and they have to survive in some form. One-off purchase is well one-off. If there is a business on-going concerns, they can sort of give out the shaver and recover from the blade sale etc. And as software need update any case whilst hardware we have been good enough for quite a while, it is better a software subscription model.

Of course the problem is whether they can cut the line ...

Enterprise IT works that way. You basically lease with option to buy servers/computers in bulk and refresh every 3-5 years.

That sounds like the absolute worst thing I can imagine ever happening to computing.
