The reality is (as I understand it), this has happened, often with a number of things, in the past.
E.g. A very long time ago, a computer printer (Dot-matrix) was a genuine item.
You paid perhaps £200/$200 for the printer, and occasionally something like £5/$5 for a new ink ribbon.
The greedy printer businesses, decided they were not happy with that way of doing business.
So, they sold the printers (then ink-jet), for perhaps £50/$50. But charged perhaps £20/$20 for each ink colour cartridge, which only had an all too small, amount of actual ink in it. So, 20 .. 50 (or some amount) of printed pages later, the cartridge(s) would need renewing.
Cheap projectors, but the replacement bulbs cost hundreds of pounds/dollars, and only last, perhaps 500 or a thousand hours, each.
Reportedly, there are such schemes for Razors (wet ones), where the handles are amazingly cheap but the replacement blade things, are expensive.
Reportedly, Microsoft, is doing stuff like that, with Windows 11. It shows adverts which say something like, let me backup your computer.
Then as soon as you exceed/reach 5 GB, it insists you have to pay a monthly subscription.
So, perhaps mice are heading in the same direction.
