Buying a Brand Store is also the only official way to have full control of snap updates. Someone at Canonical must have been taking notes from Microsoft -- take away control from users and sell it back in an "enterprise edition".

No issue with Canonical making some money from their OSS efforts, but as-is the pricing seems crazy. At the least, I wish they'd do something like make brand stores free for less than 100 devices. That would also serve to hook people in, then they pay as they grow.

Ideally though, Canonical would let anyone run their own "brand store" on their own hardware.
