HP was forcing me to have an account to scan on my printer using their mobile app.

I voted with my money and when I needed a printer for my dad I got a Brother.

Brother is unfortunately playing games with DRM and similar now too. :(

Always going to be a race to the bottom unless the consumer has rights to repair and modify their own devices. Otherwise products that lean on either ad-based or subscription recurring revenue can always undercut products that don't at retail. Make this shit impractical because anyone can install 3rd party firmware that disables the subscription DRM and the problem will go away.
