The analogy is all well and good, except missing the point we're discussing that happened to the parent:

It's not: "I’d rather live in the condo even if the lease runs out one day"

It's more like: "I’d rather live in the condo even if the realtor arbitrarily locks me out, even though I did pay for it"



I'm not saying it was a bad analogy, just that it's easy to create analogies to create a narrative based on your own perception. Obviously the point was missed.


In this case, their analogy seems to be based on reality.

The key point of their analogy is that buying another condo isn't a good solution to someone locking you out of the one you paid for, just like buying a new phone isn't a good solution to Apple locking you out of your phone that you paid for.

Your complaint with their analogy seems to boil down to "they used an analogy", without actually addressing the point above. Try to focus on the point instead.
