I think it&#x27;s morally wrong to demand that people who build things should be expected to share the thing they build in a particular way just because the thing they&#x27;ve build is easy to reproduce.<p>Market segmentation generally allows producers to expands downwards in to lower market segments without cannibalising their full-price customers.<p>Crudely speaking, the alternative to a $5,000 full-featured device and the same device with a smaller set of features (&quot;crippled&quot;) at $1,500 isn&#x27;t a full-featured device at $1,500, it&#x27;s a no device at $1,500.
