Not a false equivalence at all. People before you created this platform, you paid for said platform (let's say windows. You purchase a prebuilt pc, so the operating system and access to the services are paid for at initial purchase (key point). THEN Microsoft says "Hey this service is involved. Check it out. We'll store what you need. Download and register here... Sweet! It's setup you got your files uploaded... Now pay me and I'm not letting you see or use the files without paying me.

How is that business model justified?
