Wow, this is like saying:

> If you buy a car from us, you agree not use it driving to and from work that involves automotive R&D that might compete with our product. And if our (heavily spying) car detects you are violating this, it will slow down to 20mph and cannot be made to go any faster, until we are sure the violation has ceased.

> If you buy a laptop from us, you agree not to use it to study or acquire any knowledge that you may use to compete against us. If the laptop detects such a use, it degrades to one core and 4GB of memory, until the violation stops.

If your car slows down to 20mph you'd instantly know. If Claude silently switches to dumb mode, you might not even realize.

You'll notice by the crappy output assuming you're paying any attention at all

This impacts the functioning of the product, not the form of the product.
