“Tinder tax?” If I buy a TV, am I paying a Sony tax?

Arguably, if you connect a PS4 to that TV you are paying the Sony tax on every game you purchase, which would be a closer analogy. Sony selling the TV is identical to Google selling a Nexus phone, whereas when Sony sells a Playstation they are also selling a platform.

Edit: just reread grandparent, the tinder tax doesn't make sense and your example was valid. Apparently I haven't had enough coffee to read properly yet.
