Shutting down a service that hasn't been paid for seems as simple as getting the power turned off for not paying your electric bill. Why is it worse than not paying for services?

The company seems to be a hardware provider, not a service provider. Also, they wouldn't be able to resell these machines anyway as they were custom made specifically for Twitter before musk bought it. Without a court order that would involve breaking and entering, and possible theft charges.
