Micsig Firmware Update?
nctnico:
In an ideal world it should be possible for an oscilloscope manufacturer to provide (paid) software upgrades to existing equipment. The problem is that technology moves forward and platforms (=software + hardware) age very quickly. Adding something simple like statistics could mean doing a full OS upgrade on a device which requires re-testing all the software, fixing regression bugs due to new libraries, etc. That could add up to months of extra work an thus making such a paid upgrade super expensive.

In a ideal world the management would be aware that good updates are cheap to do, increase sales, and create brand loyalty.

No. Only a fool buys an incomplete product and is happy if the manufacturer throws a bone to chew on. Manufacturers of quality products have the best brand loyalty because their stuff simply works reliably and is a joy to use. The most valuable brand of all car makers is Toyota. Not because they make super expensive sports cars or are super green but simply because their products work and are reliable.

AFAIK Rigol and Siglent have both added extra features after launch.
