Because not all inkjets are crap. I have an HP Deskjet 4515 Ink Advantage. This thing doesn't dry out, prints out beautiful text and photos. Even though the color inks are not pigment, they do not fade out in 5 years.
The inks are cheap, last a long time, and that thing works with everything from macOS to CUPS to driverless (AirPrint, Driverless CUPS, etc.).
Bottom of the barrel printers are always bad, regardless of technology. What you want is high-end home, or entry level SoHo printers with proper network support, replaceable rollers (in lasers) and good firmware.
These devices are not cheap, and most of them are not sold with razor and blades model. You pay a good money for the hardware, and that thing lives on for more than a decade with top notch reliability.
I'd buy original cartridges to my printers everyday, because a good printer is worthy of the investment, and there's something called ink/toner quality. It's not colored water (or simple black dust) to begin with.
These companies do not have ink/toner labs for no reason.
