A better analogy might be if a tire company could only sell its tires through the Ford/GM "store"/dealership. Nobody would put up with that.

Yet people put up with hardware lock-in on printer toner and cartridges (which is also very wrong).

I don't. I barely have a need to print to begin with but just enough that I have a printer. Printers aren't continually iterating in what and how they can print so I can survive on 10+ year old printers.
