  Problem is once one of them do it, all of them do it. Remember having a removable battery? the headphone jack? DVD drives?

  the business model works, and its infecting other sectors now.

    Yes. Because people kept buying it. Most consumers are either ignorant or retarded. If a company does something and the money stop flowing because people stop buying it, they would reverse their course VERY quickly. Nothing forces a company as much as consumers stop buying.

    The problem is that most people apparently don’t give a shit about their consumer rights and will just mindlessly buy the next device that fucks their rights up the ass.
