    This is despite a wider embrace of subscriptions in general…

    I’m not sure this is the right conclusion. What seems like a “wider embrace of subscriptions” may be happening because subscriptions are becoming harder and harder to avoid. We don’t like them; they’re being forced on us. That’s an important difference.

      I also think this is misusing the current statistics and drawing wrong conclusions.

      Nobody is asking for these kind of subscription models.

        In France, people who have VW cars are not the best or brightest drivers. It could work.
