You're being alarmist; no one is bricking anything. If you refuse to update and Spotify changes endpoints in five years that's not bricking your device.

- Silhouette 9y agoI think perhaps you're reading more into my comment than was actually there. I didn't say anything about bricking a device. The principle here is whether the customer is getting what they reasonably believed they were paying for, or whether some part of that benefit is being lost prematurely because of the actions (or inactions) of the device manufacturer/vendor. To continue with your own example, whether it matters that Spotify changes an endpoint probably depends on how the product was originally presented. If it was advertised as offering access to a variety of specific services and some or all of those services become unavailable earlier than the customer might reasonably have expected, then clearly part of the value that the customer was paying for has been lost.
