2) I'm guessing licensing comes into this, the same way netflix are the sole providers of certain content, and not others. Also I could technically watch something for free if I torrent it, but I'd much rather use netflix. In the same way, maybe this service is more about high quality and reliability,rather than the actual product. 3) I am as average as it gets, and I only upgrade every couple of years or so. They should definitely make this a yearly subscription model only. 4) They definitely have a second-hand market in poorer communities, who are willing to pay for older versions if they are cheaper. Old electronics are not completely useless and are way, way easier to repair than old cars.
