I do agree though paying got drivers would be a step to far even for most consumers however I am just not seeing their logic in the decision to lock drivers behind this service which makes me wonder, is their a hidden motive to it?
To collect information, which is marketable. I'll have to read over the TOS but I'm sure there's some part in there where they collect information about the games you use with Experience. It's not really that shocking in this day and age, sad as that is, and raising discussion like this is an important way to stop it from happening.
But it is a slippery slope argument that people will ever pay for driver updates because there's nothing to predict how that will go, or if it will ever go that way. Like you say, it's most likely a step too far. Look at how quickly Bethesda's paid mods exploded in their faces.
Plenty of people don't pay for DLC because they disagree with the practice. Always online is part of a changing infrastructure on the internet landscape where bandwidth caps are becoming limited and speeds are increasing, but not every game is always online and most games have offline modes. They're not things that everyone has adopted, and are still far from the norm.
