Interesting. Do you view software in your car the same way? If not, how are they different?

  Nope. They are the same in this regard. You don't own it. Not as obvious with most cars today but it is starting to become so with some new cars coming with software subscriptions. Though really if you think about what it takes to repair a car you already see that you don't own it. It takes tools that the manufacturer sells to interact with the software, and no specs/documents on how that works either. Black boxes all the way down.

    which is why the right-to-repair laws are so crucial. may be there should also be some right-to-own software laws.
