It's not much of a length. It's set it and forget it. Way cheaper for me than $10 a month, that's a whole extra banana every month.

I shouldn't have to pay a monthly recurring charge to get some company to undo their kneecapping of how my hardware and software (that I own, outright, code and all according to GPL) works just because their business model isn't compatible with me being in control of what's mine.

It's no small thing, just brushing off $10 a month is hubris. For half the worlds population that's a third of their income. And for some of us other people, I don't want my money going to google, period. I don't care if it is 10 cents a month, I'm not paying a company to solve a problem they created on purpose in order to charge for the solution.
