To add to the list: planned obsolescence (eg closed sauce drivers in case of PCs), "sponsors" lowering your initial purchase costs by installing bloatware apps (that most people then just keep - or like with phones need at last a PC to uninstall), ads, etc.

(I assume by OEM licences you meant more hardware side.)
