Very interesting read lol. I think part of it is definitely to encourage repeat purchases. If you like a product and for the layman there is no way to maintain it, you’ll probably buy it again.

(Like Chrome making you have to choose custom for page amount instead of auto populating the field and making me take an extra step)
