car leasing is a subscription payment, everything else isn't



Not sure I agree. They're services. Uber is a car as a service. You don't pay monthly, but you use it as a service.

I don't pay a subscription for Gmail or their productivity suite, but those are SaaS.


I mean saas as subscription, i don't think it's applicable otherwise. E.g. hotels are not a service as are not airplanes. Neither is uber, you buy itemized rides from individual riders, the fact that uber mediates it doesnt make it a xaas. Otherwise, every grocery store would be a xaas
