  We do not want anti-features preventing us from using our device as we see fit (e.g., updating on our own).

    I don't think this subscription service is the thing that prevents you from doing that?

      No, but the proprietary nature of the software, with updates that I can't control, might be.

        Then make your own device. Nobody out a gun to your head saying you have to buy this device.
