If only their prices matched the quality and performance of their products. They are overpriced for the performance and quality you get in today's market. The edge they once had on competitors has been completely lost.
If you only consider the print performance, sure. But the point here is that you pay a hidden fee when going with more locked down solutions, and you should factor that into your assessment of the price as well. You might still end up with the same conclusion, but for me, avoiding enshitification traps is worth a lot more than a penny.
Is it just a penny or is it several tens of thousands of pennies?
