Starlink provides a router with their ISP package. For the last year the router comes without an ethernet port. Wireless only. They've never said why but I assume it's because of a chip shortage. (There is an add-on for ethernet you can order for a modest price.)
ResMed started selling a version of their popular AirSense 10 AutoSet sleep apnea machine without a cellular modem. Normally the product uploads treatment data to some cloud service that ResMed then resells to your doctor. Again they haven't said explicitly but it sounds like they couldn't source the part they needed, so did without. (Hilariously the branding for this is "Card-to-Cloud", as in "you carry an SD card to your PC and upload the data manually to the cloud".)
I guess what bugs me is these companies are selling things with important features removed but aren't acknowledging they are lesser products.
