It doesn’t. People and these tech companies are tools. And do it largely in search of ways to take more of your money. It’s not a favor.

If ICE tech was the hot new thing in cars, things like spark plugs would have a chip so that it would fire n times then break, but don't worry, there's a subscription for new ones and they will be automatically ordered when the car says so. If the credit card on file expires, your spark plugs won't work anymore, even if you just replaced them.
