Interesting take. You can push it further and suggest that if you don't pay the second price you don't own it at all. It's lying around as an object or unused subscription, but you're getting no benefit from it.

It's not a binary because sometimes you want things for the future, or just in case, or just because you like having them - and maybe showing them off.

But sometimes none of those are true. So what did you buy? And why?
