There is a great episode on the podcast “99% invisible” called “enshitification “ that precisely describes this action. Every device or ‘service’ will do this once they feel they have you locked in. The case study was about John Deere and Apple, but applies here too. Interesting that John Deere settled their case and had to pay $99 million.

Sounds like a really interesting concept that podcast invented
Surely they gave credit where credit is due.
Edit: indeed they did.
