The automotive equivalent of that would be a lease rather than a purchase though, as I see it.

    Well no, a lease is literally a lease. People do lease houses too you know. When people “buy” a condo, that’s not a lease.

    The point I’m making here is that the housing analogy doesn’t work (“Imagine buying a house and not being allowed to X”) because people literally “buy” houses and are not allowed to do basic things that you’d assume come with house ownership.

    I’m not defending that this is ok. For me buying a condo would be as ridiculous as buying a DRMed Tesla.
