The issue is not that they sell 3d printers with proprietary software. The issue is altering the deal _after_ you have purchased the printer. People bought a printer that was open. Then suddenly the company changed their mind and pushed an update that made it non open.

If I bought something it's mine and I can do whatever I want with it and run whatever software I want on it.
