The examples of paid products you used to support your point are not very good. The PS4 console was sold at a loss and Spotify is barely profitable. In short, you might have paid for them, but neither company made money from you based purely on those purchases. Both companies perform data collection to guess what, generate more ad revenue (through lots of channels).
Sony isn't having money trouble, they're huge. That's a sorry excuse.
And Spotify doesn't make much money because most of their users are freeloaders. Their poor business model should not become the problem of the paying users.
