I meant everyone wants to have a recurring income. After all, we have a recurring need to feed and house ourselves.

Sure, but when you buy a spoon, you expect to own the spoon. You don't pay 1$/month/spoon, do you?

That is neither here nor there. I was making a tongue in cheek comment that companies wanting recurring revenue is not notable, because everyone wants recurring revenue. The only thing limiting it before was lack of technical ability.
