      I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

      That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

        Server costs are different from SAAS. The fact that they are often blended is just a piss poor attempt to conceal the grift.

      SaaS is great for business-to-business products. Sucks ass for everything else.
