If someone wants to stay with a platform or process for a given amount of time, that should be their choice. In other words, if they want to lock themselves in, that is their option. Vendor lock-in takes the key away--in essence you are forced to keep paying to stay in prison. And I'd rather a developer spend time on making the software smoother than figuring out new ways to keep me locked in. I don't consider a vendor who tries to make my life difficult very friendly.
