Not "pretending" to care about consumer rights, but come on; I don't have to bend over and take one for the team if a product or service that's being put out there for me to pay for as a consumer sets rules or restrictions that I don't feel obligated to go along with by giving them my business. Especially when there's no monopoly and other options are available.

As it stands, the XB1 is not worth my $500 at launch. Like many later adopters, I'll just wait until the price is lower relative to the software that's available and that's pending a situation where I really feel obligated to play whatever titles are available that simply aren't being published on any other platform. It won't become my "living room hub" which means I probably won't bother with an XBLG subscription, which would limit the console's usefulness to a basic single player game console. And that's all I want from the XB.
