So if you have a mass-produced product and you want some variable features available for customers’ different preferences and price points, you ought to have different manufacturing processes even if you can actually create that variation in software? That seems very wasteful IMO.

If it's cheaper to include hardware in all models than to make different hardware versions, that sounds like you shouldn't make users pay more for actually using the hardware that is already there.
