You wouldn't have a warm seat anyhow if they only installed the seat for prepaid customers but it is possible that those customers would pay more because it would cost more to make two sets of cars. Or four sets if optional fancy suspension is done that way, or eight sets if you include digital radio, or sixteen if...
Much of the cost is R&D, not just the physical item.
Do you think all music should be free because it is already online and you downloading an album doesn't cost the artist even one cent?
I bought a car. That means I bought every piece in that car. You locking me out of the hardware i bought is me not owning my own car. You are not so dense you think artists that make music you didn’t buy yet are the same as the car manufacturer that sold you a physical car.
You are not that stupid nor dense so quit wasting everyone’s time.
