I suspect part of the subsidy is the expectation that you'll make some calls/data/texts which they miss out on if you switch networks.

I know that's what they say, but that's bullshit and you know it. If they don't want me to leave, then they should keep me happy.

It's a company they are going to do what helps their bottom line the most, if keeping people happy helps they will do that, if not they won't.
