For some people I know, everything as a subscription is a lifestyle.

House as a Service (renting), movies galore, MacBook with 0% interest 24 month financing (basically a subscription), phones with 2-year payments (also a subscription), cars with loans (subscription)...

Basically, if you view everything as no ownership, all subscription... it's a very weird dystopian way of "owning" things.

All of those can potentially be the best financial choice. Especially the 0% loans.

Many of them are also deferred payment on something that is eventually owned, which is different than SaaS
