Watch programmers and artists pay for lease.

A lot will. My last company leased their hardware. It cost more in the long run but for reasons I never understood it’s better having expenses paid out of opex versus capex.

Yeah, I was in a room with a customer that said point blank “even if it costs us more in opex within a year than buying it as capex, we would rather rent the stuff as opex”
Some accounting bullshit makes them hate having anything that they must count as an “asset” that goes down in value over time. Better to burn the money as “expense” than to have to manage the value burning off over years as “depreciation”.
