Exactly; not to jump too far, but it's an inherent contradiction of capitalism. The interests of the business owner class (maximise consumer spending, reduce production cost (by, say, cutting extra features like this)) directly conflict with the consumer/worker class (minimise consumer cost, maximise wages - which is to say - business spending). Because modern big business/neoliberal gov places so much of the productive power (what gets produced and how) in the ultra-wealthy, the interests of the business owner are prioritised, at the expense of the consumer/worker. It's just a broken system, by design.
There's nothing here!
