A different product ownership model seems like it would dictate a different data ownership model. Last I checked, buying a Canon is a one-time purchase, you don't get periodic updates to the feature set, and Canon isn't paying some small amount of money every time you use their product.
With SaaS products these attributes are all different, and it seems fine that there also be a different data ownership model. Otherwise you (as a customer) are just trying to have your cake (unrestricted usage of the product) and eat it too (full ownership of all the data generated, even usage data).
Wait till Fendocaster and Canon (among many others) hear about this, they'll be ecstatic
