Has anyone else seen this? This seems to be a common pattern lately. Companies will list all their products:

Product X1 Product X2 Product Y1 Product Y2 Product R42 Product F25

… but they don’t have a page explaining what the difference between the X line, Y Line, R Line, and F Line actually are. Let’s say they are gadgets. Would it hurt them in any way to simply say the X line prioritizes speed, the Y line is backwards compatible with legacy gadgets, the R line is meant for business use, and the F line is experimental form factors. How do you not think to put this info on your page?

      My theory was that they make licensing intentionally obtuse to make more from both companies buying more licenses than they need to protect themselves during audits and from companies failing to understand correct licensing and getting caught in an audit
