by buying a subscription to a service, you are subscribing not only to the service that exists today, but to a stream of improvements to that service, including improvements that have not yet been announced or developed, delivered as fast as possible
Is this as crazy as it sounds to me, or are there some legal precedents that would support such perspective?
If you read the post you’ll see the word “antitrust” in there, and there’s a reason for that. Companies aren’t allowed to collude so that they can raise prices or sell inferior products without worrying about competiition. This certainly includes collusion to not release improvements. “As fast as possible” is not the same thing as “not deliberately slowly”.
