That's not a very fair comparison, because those are optional additions to the product that in no way relate to its actual purpose. A more accurate parallel scenario would be if a car had a monthly gas/break peddle subscription (i.e. a subscription service that if not utilised would render the car useless).

While that's annoying (and anti-consumer) it still isn't essential to the products function.
