Re: "Open source is there to be subverted"

Ah, but they had a choice.

_{~2/3 are to businesses despite being a small segment ; private buyers mostly reject the choice.}

_{Also quite a different investment: ~$0 purchase price/100% upfront discount. And the recurring cost is heavily discounted/structurally subsidised by the implicit sale at end (ie, pay for only depreciation + financing). If future forced-subscription-model reduces sale value of cars, as seems likely (part of the old purchase price now diverted from the owner to the mfr for future subscription payments), that secondhand-sale value will drop, depreciation will rise, and leased cars will become more expensive.}

_{Negative consequences all round, in other words, if the whole market is forced into one subsector's choice.}
