Buying a car and paying for maintenance is not analogous. You buy the car - it works. Paying for maintenance is just meant to keep it working for longer. You could buy a car, not pay for maintenance and drive it until it breaks. That's very different than buying something that is completely non-functional without the subscription. Also, aside from some very specific and new instances, car maintenance has not been provided solely by the manufacturer or authorized dealers.
