    Agreed. This needs to die right next to EULAs being able to redefine “purchase” and “own”. Toss em both into a fire pit. No consumer in their right mind would see the garuntee and take it at anything but face value, just like no consumer would see “purchase to own” as a “licensing” contract and not a direct ownership model. The 2000s have really disappointed in the consumer protections spaces in some frankly obvious ways. It’s not even about them not being able to run their businesses the way they want, we’re all fine with price increases and licensing, it’s the fact they lie about it to trick people into agreements they otherwise would decline.
