If you require a hammer to do work, you just buy a hammer that you can use for the rest of time or until you buy a better hammer.

You don't pay $10 dollars a month for the rest of time for the same hammer you could have just paid for previously. Especially since HammerCo might up the price, go out of business, or flat out stop offering the hammer subscription you rely on, and you lose access to your vital resource.

What a dumb argument.
