Sounds like a monopoly. I don't think that's the answer but I don't have a solution either.
If her rainbow skirt also threatened violence I can see the comparison but it likely wouldn't.
The car still functions so not fully bricked, but I see the argument that the purchased self driving function is bricked. Wouldn't be surprised if there's language in the agreement that deems it as a service. Just another shitty business practice to increase bottom line.
