If the value I get from Toyota is not worth the hassle, I would not buy it under those terms! That is the point. If Toyota is the only car I was allowed to buy, or if Toyota bought out all its competitors, that would be a different issue.

How? Do you know what monopoly is? You being upset at how you can use a device you are in no way have to buy and use does not make the brand a monopoly.
- Serenacula 3y agoOne of the problems that plagues phones is that, if apple makes a change everyone else follows. See it like this: Toyota arbitrarily declares that they'll disable any car without "Toyota" approved 30% taxed fuel. Then all the other car companies immediately copycat, seeing a new way to make money. This is the case with iPhone and android. They do not have meaningful competition when they can just work together as a pseudo monopoly.
