I don't want a hardware that always needs updates. Are they stupid?

Here's my rule of thumb:

if it connects to the internet, it should receive security updates
if it doesn't need to connect to the internet, it shouldn't, and it doesn't need updates

Mice are firmly in the second category. In fact, I think cars are in the second, and any features that need internet access should go through my phone.

The problem is ALL of the other subscription services available now are thriving even with all the massive price hikes this just invited companies like this to jump on the bandwagon. It's ridiculous how nearly everything has some kind of subscription service...
