If it keeps newcomers from making mistakes in client choice it looks like a good thing to me?

I used to be with “it”. Then they change what “it” was. Now what I’m with isn’t “it” amd what’s “it” seems wierd and scary to me. It will happen to you.

All a NAS is is a separation of concerns, if you build a system who’s only job is to provide networked storage, then that system is a NAS. If you buy an off the shelf “NAS” and proceed to run a bunch of services on it, that is a home server, not a NAS. Build your own NAS and most of your concerns go away.

Depending how long they had used the service they probably saved more than €150 just by not paying subscriptions to all the services they would need for the same content. Cost of doing business?
