That’s what it’s become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don’t have reasonable access to the hardware.

I don’t want to cook after I get home from work. From scratch, doubly so.

Yeah it’s way more work to have to clean up unless you don’t mind your bathroom smelling of piss.
