Well yes but it's kinda crappy that you do. Can easily imagine an alternate reality where laws are more pro-consumer such that it's illegal to charge someone for a service in a month that they don't use it.

Didn't use my vacation home this month, skipping the mortgage payments!
The comparison with a house does not work, it relies on a misapplication of the word "use". In the context of a house, "use" refers to ownership. You receive the benefits (use) of ownership regardless of your presence. You basically pay for the inability for others to live on the property.
