Are you suggesting that anyone who buys something and then doesn't use it to generate the maximum profit possible for themselves is being subsidized by someone else?
Not at all. Simply: If the market value of an item is $2500, and I demand the ability to buy it at $750, I am demanding that someone, somewhere subsidizes my purchase.
The keyword that you left out is "now". In one year (hopefully), supply will match demand and you'll be able to purchase it at MSRP. At that point, you're subsidizing your own purchase by applying patience.

That doesn't even remotely make sense.
