Even when I don’t use it? How is it acceptable?

I don't see anywhere that you can't also just buy a battery and charge it yourself if you'd prefer that over a subscription.

Which the manufacture will either set a high price or simply not offer it. We had this in software (Adobe), and movies/TV shows (Netflix). Companies prefer continuous steady streams of revenue over burst because the numbers will look better for the investors, and easy to show them the solid future of the company.

I won't be in the "Owns nothing and be happy" camp. Or honestly, rarely have things I do not own.
