Oh wait, they’re doing everything in their power to prevent me from being independent after the purchase

They're not, actually. This may be subtle nuance but they're not actively preventing you from doing whatever you want, they're just not assisting you to undermine their IP.

As I said, this business model is built around products having a finite service life. This microscope may have been state of the art 30 years ago, but all the R & D that's taken place in the interim is funded by the sale of new microscopes.
