A whole lot less once they realize that there was a free alternative that got killed.

Boomers aren’t going to live forever and younger generations pay attention to these things.

I wouldn’t buy a Mazda again based on this. I know it may not be oceans of people, but I used to really like Mazdas and am a former customer.

This isn't going to drive me away from Mazda, rather the Lexus prices. I know inflation is partially to blame, but if I am dropping $35-40k on a vehicle, I want it to be a luxury brand.

I don't think this was a free alternative; It was a library for the same APIs the official app would use. If they add a subscription model it would (almost) certainly be server-side and you'd still need to be an authorized user to use the API.

All they did was screw over existing owners / future subscribers.
