Tank inkjets tend not to be subsidized because of the lack of lock in. They're considerably more expensive than those that use cartridges. So you are paying for the ability to put in whatever you want.

Which to me is a no-brainer. (I do have a laser printer though)

Yeah, mine did cost like $160, but it is nice to know that canon can't decide to end support and brick it in 10 years

That's actually a good deal for a tank inkjet last I saw.
