They are probably following the business model of the ink-jet printer sellers. Sell the product at a heavily promoted low price, then clean up on the after-sale monopoly. But they are also incompetent, and can’t even run a good monopoly.

Classic. I bought a computer, maybe 10 years ago, and it came with a little, crappy, ink jet printer, that used very tiny cartridges. I freaked out the store when I told them they could keep the printer (I already had some nice ones).
You are familar with the concept of “getting the customer pregnant”? Once they are invested in your equipment, their alternatives are limited. Sounds like they may be abusing the concept.
