If they're not there, and are optional extras, and you pay an additional fee
for them if you want them, fine.
This is a bit unusual, but there are cases where the added features
make it impossible to use the product. Cell-phone cameras are a case
in point. There are places I work where I would not be allowed to
carry a cell phone which has a camera. Mine doesn't, so I'm OK.
Then there are cases (in software, usually) where an "added feature"
means an entry point for abuse/breakage .... that affects more people.
