I think you might be on to something there.
They want to be the Apple of marine MFD's. They expect us to line up like lemmings every 12-18 months to shell out big bucks for "the latest thing."
That "legacy" device you bought last year? Get rid of that! It's ruining your image! The styling is so... last year!
That said, apparently there are a lot of lemmings out there, so Garmin can be successful with that business model. Hard to blame them for that.
