And ... everyone loses their minds? WTF!?

Are we getting upset because we are out of things to get upset about?

Also, "For the people in the back" is hilarious ... let that BMW personality shine.
Let me make it simpler to understand: imagine you're having a spec home built. You are paying for a 3/2 but the builder put in an additional third bathroom. But you can't use this bathroom. Only if someone decided to pay an additional monthly fee at some point in the future.

Somewhat silly, no?

Like I mentioned in another thread, a subscription makes sense if a service is actively being provided. But paying for a static option? Greedy.
3rd bathroom is not free, project costs more in materials hoping for a continuous payback…price increases in the meantime to cover costs.
