That didnt explain why its there though now did it??
and if its a used machine out of warranty??? yup would and have...
The argument of putting things in there to make them more expensive (now or later??) is a BS response....why else make things proprietary??? Simple things no less...certain fittings, or possible down the line replaceable things....sayyyy a radiator??? that they charge as much as 10X the amount of a off the shelf replacement at your local auto parts store???
or the fact that the computers on them now REQUIRE you to go to certain shops for repair....
Dont get me wrong, I get and understand engineering certain things....for safety, and some ease of use, for workers.....
but dont for a sec sit there and tell me that NONE of it is for their financial benefit...BECAUSE IT IS....
now back to the point.....
whats it for and why is it on there???
