Using your Apple device as an access card in unsupported systems

It's SSO tax applied to hardware devices. But at the same time, it's clearly a more premium feature and if you're a business you've got the $5000/year to pay for 1000 devices. $5/device/year is not exactly expensive. Heck, I'd pay Ubiquiti $15/year for my family to be able to use it at home. That's less than I pay for almost any subscription for anything.

$5/year… this year. They will add a “No SOC2 compliance, please upgrade to our $19pm solution and benefit from 10% if you subscribe annually”.

It’s sad that we have to assume this is the agenda for all offerings that don’t allow paying current price x years in advance (possibly including adjustion for expected inflation). Leaves a very sour taste, especially in the case of hardware devices

Then you can stop using it, and you're no worse off than before when the choice wasn't even available.
