Why going full orwell punishing, when it could simply beep some sense into the owner??? Really folks, sometimes the software industry wants to offer the most weird solutions... (and sometimes they even get implemented)
If you own the machine and have rented it to someone, with a promise that it's working and being maintained, yet the renter doesn't clean the lint filter even when the machine beeps, you have to send a maintenance guy to clean that, costing money.
