The entitlement is quite staggering, as evidenced by the comment you replied to. This is like Cocal Cola putting a free refill station on the street and a bunch of people rolling up with tanker trucks, then getting upset when it's taken away.

The entitlement here comes from companies that lie about providing 'unlimited' services but whine about being taken advantage of when people actually use these 'unlimited' services.

Advertising a service that a supplier has no intention of providing is called fraud.

Yeah, just like the fraud millions of married couple run when they say "...Till death do us apart" and then proceed to divorce in few years.

And divorce tends to be an expensive and painful process when both sides cannot come to an agreement.

Except that it's not free, and Coke doesn't have to promise infinity if it isn't offering it.

Google didn't offer Unlimited either. It's limited to 1Tb but they never enforced it.

In the US it is common for businesses to offer unlimited free refills on soda.
