Bingo! Removing basic industry-standard hardware functionality isn't about adding capability; it's about removing choice and monetizing basic features. The cynically calculated (aka "courageous") removal of basic industry standard hardware creates problems that manufacturers then 'solve' by selling accessories, higher-tier storage models, and subscription services. -- Functionality, in this context refers to inherent, direct, and unencumbered capabilities, not workarounds or replacements that add cost/complexity.
