And no equipment will never hit the used market - it will be "taken back" and scrapped!  After all, "they" have a birthright to your money!

A lot of businesses run on that model already. It makes sense if you’re optimising for opex instead of capex.

Isn't Keysight discriminating against it's customers?

"Keysight’s Hewlett-Packard heritage encompasses a strong culture of respect for the individual that has fostered practices ahead of their time."
https://www.keysight.com/us/en/assets/3121-1210/flyers/Keysight-Diversity-and-Inclusion.pdf

“We have always placed a high value on diversity and inclusion, and we did so long before it made headlines. One of our core values is to embrace diverse cultures and different ways of thinking. It’s built into our policies, our practices, and is the very fuel that propels our mission, our innovation, and our competitive advantage. But most importantly, it’s the right thing to do.”
- Ron Nersesian, Chairman, President and CEO"

On the one hand they purport to be about the individual (as the founders were) - but sales/support won't acknowledge your existence?

Perhaps they scared off their customer team when they started hiring based on inclusion statistics marketing instead of genuine merit  :-//

After seeing how thing are going with Keyseight, I opted to switch to R&S for our company equipment.
We originally purchased MXA's, but for the last 2 purchases we went with R&S for a microwave signal generator and a 6 GHz scope.

Both companies have similar products and similar pricing, only edge cases are covered by one firm and not by the other. Thus picking equipment almost always based on personal preference. Pushing experienced users away by not offering support for the equipment they get used to when working at home, might not be the brightest idea.

Big money can be lost that way.
