You make it sound like a conspiracy to control our lives instead of a profit-maximization behavior. It's cheap and easy to lock you out and expensive to build things more robustly. The cost to your privacy, autonomy, etc. isn't passed on to them because typical consumers don't know or care what they're giving up.
