Canon's webcam software was until recently free. It was the sole reason I bought a Cabin camera. This is a rug pull.

That's upsetting, but my point is the article itself is rage bait. It's not outrageous for Canon to charge for webcam software when there's HDMI video-out on the camera.
Imagine stanning for nickel-and-diming.
I can imagine supporting my right to charge my customers for the software I build for them, absolutely. And I support Canon's right to do the same.
Many of us have had the experience of clients telling us to "just" write code that they think is easy, but we know how that can go in reality.
There's already a simple solution here in HDMI. I don't see a reason to be outraged at Canon over not providing another solution that most buyers will never even use.
