>Ah yes, nothing like the explosion of predatory business models to bring a tear of joy to my capitalist heart.
How is it predatory? Are you just against any sort of financing because "capitalists" are making money?

1. Everything should be absurdly, suspiciously cheap or even free.
2. You don't own things you buy, you just own the right to use them according to your lengthy legal agreement with the real owner.
These have become very popular ideas! So popular, in fact, that if you object you're stuck paying for specialty items that are dramatically more expensive than they would be if they could be produced at scale.
The unfortunate truth about living in a big economy is that everybody merely exercising their free choice really does affect everybody else. So we reserve the right to talk shit about annoying business models, in the hopes that we will make them at least a little bit less cool and less popular so the competitors with "purer" models (like, "build a thing people want and trade full ownership of that thing for money") have more of a chance to scale up.
So-called "free choice" coming from a reckless, hyper-individualist outlook imposing on others are externalities. This is where government must step in and mediate potential disputes between the boundaries of positive and negative rights of multiple parties.
There’s actually one scenario where you do — the panels reach end of life right around the time the lease is up. So you are now the proud owner of a removal and disposal liability that you’re going to want to handle before you sell the house.
There are good companies, but the most effective salesmen aren't necessarily the most honest.
And there’s some kind of third party incentive on this as I’ve had a couple of different folks ding my door asking if the panels are doing their job.
The last person mentioned about getting my address registered as a happy consumer, and since then the folks have stopped coming to ask about it.
But not all states force them to do that, and salesmen are paid on commission.
As an aside, this is just written in jest. I don't feel strongly about a debatable position against your position or something. You're welcome to continue explaining your point as you have and I am open mindedly considering what you're saying. You bring up a good point about the revenue generation.
