It frustrates me that software is used to artificially limit the potential of technology in order to extract profits like this.

Somehow, instead of having so many quality of life improvements from an amazing technology, that eliminates so much prior scarcity that existed, we get shit like this that enforces artificial scarcity.

And the only thing we can do is laugh at it, until it's forced on us by every corporate overlord and we have no choice but to except it as the new normal.
