They do it because they can get away with it. Zero consequences, and they still have a legion of customers who are happy to piss their money down the drain on egregiously overpriced ink.
I totally agree with you: Brother laser printers all the way.
As a satisfied owner of a Brother laser printer, I can safely say I would never want anything else.
I'm so glad I just happened to get a Brother. It was the cheapest one that had the features I wanted (that wasn't from a completely unknown brand) and it wasn't an HP. I've been nothing but happy with mine and seeing all the love Brother printers get it feels like I totally lucked out.
People keep buying them and signing up for an ink subscription. If people are that dumb, they'd be insane NOT to milk them for cash
This. Just like Apple users.
