That's crazy. Real anti consumer practices.

Like it's good to have default encryption...

But imagine if a car had proprietary nuts on the wheels so they can't be stolen or fall off during the ride. Then to change a tire you needed an account with the manufacturer and they make it exceptionally difficult to install other brands tires.

Fuck Microsoft so much, they are a cancer in the world that can exist only because they have such power

Many cars require a speciality tool for their lug nuts. In fact there's a whole series of custom tools for modern cars that get updated every few years to prevent regular mechanics from working on them without buying the tool.
