I always find this mindset amusing. You don't feel good about what you have you're worried about what you could have just over the fence but don't want to do the work to get it. If your car has additional features and you can write a bigger check to activate them then activate them. If not, be happy with what you have.

What are you actually talking about? This isn't about wanting something "over the fence", it is about wanting the ability to use something that you have in your possession to its fullest. If someone builds you a house for x dollars but but installs some kind of access control to a room so that you can't use it unless you pay an extra 20% of the original price (and you didn't know about this extra room when you ordered the house), would you be happy? The room has been built and the cost of building the room has already been incurred by the builders but they would rather have it empty, wasting space than have you use it unless you pay extra. Would that not frustrate you? If they can afford to build it, without you paying extra, then they are either ripping you or someone else off.
>...but don't want to do the work to get it.
Where do you get that from? This isn't about not wanting to pay for extra features, it is about not wanting to own something that you cannot use.
>I always find this mindset amusing.
Thanks for that extra piece of information, it really added an arrogance to your post that would have been lost without it.
This is analogous to sealing off a section of your fuel tank which can be unsealed if you pay more. Modifying ecu software is not equivalent.
