HomeShield Pro required for some basic stuff - Why?

On the Deco X50, I've noticed that some basic security features required you to pay for HomeShield Pro
Why must we have to pay for Intrusion Prevention and Web Blocking as this should be basic for all routers
Parental Controls - This you can only see for current day, you can't choose week or month and you can't look at previous days unless you pay further.
These features come as free on other routers by other manufacturers, so why are they chargeable on TP-Link products. I appreciate that you have to run the services, etc but the first couple of years should be at least free, especially for the price of the units and not only get 1 month free
ie: £200 for the system, then £50+ a year for HomeShield Pro makes these devices more expensive than other brands
Without this, users are probably stuck with a less secure system running in router mode than a normal router from their local isp or they need to run the devices in AP mode and use their ISP's or another router to do all the security.
@mirdragon Totally agree. When i bought my Decos X55 I had no idea that I need to pay for that
