I'm all for spending money on convenience (that doesn't mean a "fundamental laziness") and enjoyment

NordVPN and CleanMyMac or the oversubscribed options like Apple+ are not enjoyable nor convenient to me

"fundamental lazyness" - things like relying only on your phone to unlock your car then running out of signal/battery/etc and getting stranded somewhere and looking like a dunce because you were more lazy than you should have been. Or getting takeaway coffee as first thing in the morning when a coffee machine would pay for itself in a month of usage.

Sure, I'm not defending every choice they're making specifically. I don't subscribe to almost anything they do, although I probably subscribe to plenty of other things you think are "not enjoyable not convenient". But I can think of reasons why most of these things could be a reasonable purchase for someone.

I'm not seeing any of these that are "fundamental lazyness" unless you're trying to claim that entertainment is a bad value proposition.
