Cause and effect. Feedback forced statement. Statement forced lawsuit. Denial of the problem and hiding problem under the rug has consequences. that is full 3 years to admit fault. This is for things that are fully software controlled.
Imagine for cars. Normally perfomance u paid for now software controlled with pay 2 get getting perfomance. How easy it is to nerf perfomance to force a new purchase? even easier than an iphone.

it happened between 2014 - 2016. apple admitted in 2017. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42508300
It wasnt just shutting down. It was straight up perfomance lowering.

if it was cheaper, they could just avoided the whole court cases long before it got to court. if it was just a retune, you could just fix it long before it even getting to court.

that retuning is what users complained about and they ignored it. Imagine retuning something and u end up paying 113million, because you cant win it in court.

That just means you were wrong in first place. If you can provide proof of non-deliberate tampering and take a fine, then yup, you purposely made mistake. If you cant fight it, then yup, you purposely made mistake.
This isnt a flip of a coin, this is deliberate. Unlike a flip of a coin, you can always roll back software. Apple doesnt allow that.

The fact that apply was forced to pay a fine for this bad practice basically it is illegal.

it doesnt when the version prior to that perfomed at peak capacity as long as user knew how to prevent updates. Problem is inability to go backwards in version made it impossible to go return to peak perfomance.

this perfomance software will also allow them to tune down the car to make consumer spend money on repairs and/or new vehicle. No different old iphones getting slower.
monthly fees for product you paid for already that every other vehicle have is beyond dumb.

And then what? U overthrow a wolf that keeps other wolf's in check. It will exactly be same as iraq 2.0. On many fold worse scenario. NATO Coalition control all cities but cant control country side. Russia is too vast for an occupation like iraq. And if you leave some radicals will take over a country that has a lot of nukes or has resources to make nukes.
