Straight from the old Big Tabacco playbook of traps. Give away free stuff to get you addicted while in school and then when you are out they start profiting on your bad habbit you are hard to get rid off. Better to use software that is free for ever and even better if it is also free as in freedom and opensource.

And when everyone uses or is forced to use the product, they can actively start enshitifying it and squeeze every penny of their users...
