Don't worry, we are only charging you for like 10% of the power anyway :)
 
Seriously though, think about how expensive it used to be to record and how much analog gear cost. $149 for an upgrade is sorta a bargain.

... calculating... trying to convince myself for not being convinced.

In today's dollars, I paid $5,450 for a TEAC 3340 4-track tape recorder back in 1975. No mixers, signal processors, tape, noise reduction, mics, patch cords, backline...just the ability to record on four tracks. I didn't have any money left over to buy a mixer so I built my own. That cost about $800 in parts. 

Actually my list is extremely similar to Panups... 
 
But unlike Craig, I only paid about $1200 for my A3340S...oops...using the Google inflation translator...that is $5468.78 in 2016  --   (I won't tell you what I paid for my Tascam38 new...not to mention the [4]DBX150 units)
[used] Tapco mixers where cheap back then...same with Peavey.  

I've read this entire thread, and there's a lot of "inside baseball" references, personal gripes, and descriptions of "how the sausage is made".  
 
So I have no real inkling of what's going on here, but this is what I suspect:  The tape machine references are a smokescreen. Cakewalk is going to use the new Windows 10 spying capabilities to determine which features of Sonar we are using and then charge us accordingly. 

ooops! I made my last post before seeing the thread about analytics.  But don't despair guys, it's not like it's something really serious like a subscription model or something.

Tpayton...most of this thread is "snark"... Poking a little fun at some of the premature freak out of some about analytics...

We now have a single yearly fee which you can take advantage of to get all the new monthly improvements on top of what you already own...my personal "snark" was this is going to change which was shared in jest.

Oh yes Vastman, we're on the same page. Both of my posts were tongue in cheek.

  It's kinda hard to tell sometimes... thanks!
