I wonder about these companies that try to lock users into their ecosystem. I'm sure they do the business math, but there must be quite a few of us who won't by HP because of this. I won't buy Adobe software any more because of their subscription-only model. I won't buy Roland software synths for the same reason. And I won't try an Apple computer or phone because it would not work well with my other devices so for the best experience I'd have to buy a whole bunch of Apple stuff. All these companies are pleased to be locking in their customers, but they're also locking out other potential customers.
