No, you can't, because that isn't a good analogy. Those two situations are not at all the same, but I'll humor you.
The analogy you're making is like saying only the company who makes doors is allowed to change the lock on your door, and they're allowed to just stop offering the lock-changing service whenever they want. They also conveniently put a mechanism in so that whenever a third-party locksmith comes, your door falls apart. Your only option is to buy a new door, doorknob, frame, and hinge because your lock is worn out.
