I find the video amusing as the dude calls it the "annoying toy tactic". aka when parents conveniently "lose" a very annoying toy a child might have.

However the correct term for this, I think, is "bait and switch". When you buy a tech product and it has a feature that is arbitrarily taken away from you. Frankly it should be illegal. Lots of companies have done this and will continue to do it until they can't.
