Cars. There is no direct bus to the grocery store from my apartment, so it's way easier to drive than get on 1 bus, transfer to a different line and then go there.

Every console I've ever had. I have a lot of games I like on the Gamecube, Nintendo Switch, Gameboy, etc. but all the games felt misplaced on the consoles that had to be used to play them. The only exception to this and the only one I ever genuinely liked was the Wii U, but Nintendo did a trash job with it and it really messed up how I was able to go about games in the future, since they made the Nintendo Switch overlap with the Wii U in terms of console generation.
Adobe Illustrator - No way to use it on Linux without jumping through hoops like a circus poodle, but my school pays for it, and I don't know how to use Inkscapes at the level that I know how to use Illustrator.

My rented modem. I'm not knowledgeable enough to buy and set up my own and I hear stories of people getting throttled for not renting from the ISP.
If you can't ditch their modem without problems, then usually you can still set it to just transparently forward traffic to your own router. Setup is usually not hard if you have an extra network cable and a computer with a network port (and many can be set up with a smartphone these days)

App's pretty meh and it's generally pretty meh but it's dirt cheap. 1โฌ per transaction is amazing when all I really do is passive investing.
They did notify me that they're going to delete my personal data when I hadn't followed up on my registrations for a few months which suggests they take data privacy serious and is the reason I ultimately went with them. Scalable Capital (another "cheap" neo-broker who I started the signup process with at about the same time) OTOH hasn't sent a word tome to this day; I should send a GDPR request soon.
