The entire idea is to be low cost, so when you start tacking on all these fees kinda defeats that purpose. At some point you will get to the point where it's the same cost to rent vs own.

It depends on how much you use it I guess. But the average person surely doesn't go out ice hiking every weekend.

And, most people can't: most places, only ~half the year will be cold enough to have snow/ice.
