I guess if that's that only kind of financing you can get.

That's exactly what it is. Look up the statistics on how many people can't afford an unexpected $500 bill. Most people simply don't have the money to pay out of pocket for what smartphones actually cost, so they're stuck with exploitation, or nothing.

Seems odd because you can get fully functioning smartphones for like $200.
