It's common knowledge that ink cartridges are a racket and the real money maker for printer manufacturers. I have absolutely zero doubt that this move was only done in order to coerce their users into buying ridiculously overpriced first-party cartridges.

This would ruin the reputation of 3rd party ink and make people "learn" that they have to buy branded ink to get acceptable prints.
