Sort of an aside, sort of on topic, but suppose light bulbs were supplied by the power company as part of the service. You’d visit the utility office and exchange burnt out bulbs for new ones, for a $2 (1978 dollars) yearly subscription. That’s the world my parents (born 1930s) lived in until the service stopped in 1978 because a store owner sued the utility. My parents would complain about the low quality bulbs they had to buy in the stores, that were never as good as the ones from the utility.
