Well corporations will push for this for efficiency but think of possible consumer uses.
Say you have portable RFID scanner and a database provided by an organization.
This organization could be Greenpeace, Consumer Reports your favorite wine review site, etc.
So I walk into the store and key into my scanner, show me all coffee products that are Fair Trade Certified. Show me if they have any one of my favorite 10 wines, etc.
RFID tags for home use -buy a pack of say 100 tags and tag things in your house.
Where's the TV remote? Take a walk w/ a scanner and oooh there it is. Moving? Tag your stuff, put it in boxes. Done. What's in my pantry? Scan it. What drinks can I make w/ things in my bar? You get the point.
There are some issues w/ creating the database, and privacy issues for corporations, but I'm sure there's a place for new companies to sell that info.
-Futrdreams.
No, the point is to have some one fix it when they've goofed, or have someone point you in the right direction when you've goofed.
Sometime the vendor has a problem with a product that they dont know about yet, and if you've paid for support you can be fast tracked to the engineering department who will write a hot fix for YOUR problem. (been there done that)
Or perhaps because it is their product they have training and tools not available to the public, and can resolve issues much faster than a network admin, even an experienced one. (Corrupt Edir partition anyone?)
If I am paying top dollar to IBM, not only do I want it to work they way they say it will, I want to know if I'm trying something they haven't thought of, and if its even possible.

The 1Z2Z is of radical (3) design. It does however still retain the
urinated tungsten (4) cathode which proved so successful in the UMAC 606

grid in the 1Z2Z. Since the tube does not have a grid, the choice is a wise
one (8).
The profulgment stigmetic type of construction permits an
untrimmed electron beam to pass into the hypodirec channel (9) where the
