That's funny how we feel about things:

FastFood monopolist adding too much salt to its cheapest food products so it can sell less salty versions of same products at premium prices ... seems severely pathological.

Hardware monopolist crippling cheapest products so it can sell non-crippled ones at premium prices ... sort of ambiguous. Legit market strategy or conning customers?

Graphic design software make selling crippled versions of their software cheaper so it can sell fully featured version at premium price. Totally legit.

What's the difference?
