Spotify will brick the hardware it released in 2022 this December.

    Honest question, why would it cost money?

      The code may contain some proprietary things they want to remove. Maybe it’s not up to public standards and they don’t want to be looked down upon. Maybe it could reveal vulnerabilities in other code if not cleaned up.

      There could be a lot of reasons.
