WAI4WD, it's notable that $ does not feature in your response.
Its basically a service cost for them to constantly update software, over the air software updates, Microsoft licensing for Office and other such software available on the system, etc etc. If you can afford a luxury car, you can afford the costs that come with it, from insurance to servicing and parts.
[Begin rant] To use this analogy with Microsoft, well I'm a Unix/Linux user and has been for decades.This subscription issue with Office and other 'cloud' services just doesn't apply to the rest of the world.
Surely this is about ownership? I pay x$ and purchase a BMW which I then own. If I want MY seats heated then I flick a switch.

Truth be known most BMW owners have lease agreements. WRT software (excluding open source) you have never owned it, the money you pay gives you the right to use it in perpetuity until it’s superseded.There is much more to this argument than just affordability and ownership.
