e.g. your production deployment might be in another country, and getting
equipment in and out of the country could involve customs headwreck,
delay and cost.
Or you might have only a handful of a specific type of device so there
would be no justification getting a cold spare / lab unit.
There are lots of good reasons to pay for support, but then again there
are also lots of good reasons not to pay for support. It's highly
dependent on what you're trying to achieve and there's no
one-size-fits-all approach.
