Personally, I'd recommend just nuking HP from orbit until it's gone.
Printers, and their manufacturers sucks, and HP is the worst of the bunch. No one should ever even try to defend them, there is nothing defensible about them.
Especially considering you can now buy printers that only ever work with instant ink and reject all other cartridges.
(Btw, I'm using a modded brother printer)

I'm all for that, but only if we can also nuke all HP Printers crowding the 5GHz spectrum with their "HP JetDirect" 5Ghz APs. My neighbor has one, and I swear that useless HP printer AP is louder than my wifi router in many parts of my house. I will never, ever buy an HP printer because of that.
Obviously not. You’ve paid for food delivery, you got what you paid for, why would they take it back? It’s not like you’re paying for cooked meals.
> What the average consumer expects from a service like instant ink is "a subscription for new ink cartridges when needed" and not "a subscription for individual pages".
Have you ever read or tried to signup for the service? Literally everything is priced per page. A no point do they say you’re getting a subscription ink service, it’s quite explicitly a per page printing service.
I’m sorry, but you bought a service that clearly sold and priced as “$X per month for Y printed pages”, and misinterpret that as “$X per month, for Y ink”, then that’s on you.
