It’s an interesting thing to bring up because it’s this classic thing we’ve seen for decades now.

The ramifications go beyond the individual which is why I assume they mentioned it. They don’t need to use it/not use it for it to have interesting implications.

so it'd be preferable if they didn't include the model at all?
I didn’t say that and I don’t have a feeling on that either way. But this is a limited time trial and calling it out as such is valid.

Is it nice we get the trial? Sure. Is it also a common play in the playbook of tech companies? Yes.
