Link below (e.g.).
In terms of what one buys and what one owns -- more and more, consumers buy licenses that give them certain rights. Hardware products ride along on the coattails. Thus are 'high tech' products, by and large, inexpensive. The hardware is effectively a rental.
Sonos' "sin", arguably, was pushing the disposal of their obsoleted boxes back on the consumer. I absolutely don't mean to minimize that, but any owner of the product could have prevented it being bricked by not trading it in .
Not a Sonos fan by any means (indeed, I have zero interest in such products), but the story played out a bit differently, at least based on what I've read.
all the best,
