You wouldn’t pay to not own a car

Idk, lots of people lease... So I guess they would

Ahem, what about car rentals when you travel? 😜 Just kidding: in this case you know very well you're not owning the car and only using it for a very short time

You technically own the car, but some functionality is behind software locks and these days even paid subscriptions. How much do you really own?
