If you are considering responding negatively in these comments, and also work on or for a SaaS business (or any kind of aaS), I would like to hear your reasoning
But the argument would go for a SaaS, you're paying for (1) potentially upgrades and support, and (2) the ease-of-mind to off-load self hosting to someone else. So yes I agree, only SaaS business people who offer customers a buy-to-own option (open-source their SaaS suites with a push-button to deploy and host on AWS) should be able to comment on thread!
Here, Mazda have removed a traditionally zero-dollar standard inclusion which incurs no ongoing cost (keyfob start) and replaced it with a paid option (smartphone start).
These aren't the same thing.
