It’s completely different. It’s a car that was sold with an option at moment of purchase. 145 HP or 200 HP for more money? Normal people chose the 145 HP because cheaper and pay less taxes and insurance and because when you drive in the city the 50 HP do not make any difference.
Suppose one day the owner needs to win races at the nurburgring instead of commuting or taking kids at school, so they give the option of unlock the full power instead of buying a new car.
If it was something like “from today you need to pay a subscription if you want to open the back windows” I would agree with you, but in this case it’s a power unlock that was known from the moment of purchase and not a surprise shock.
In your example, they absolutely and unequivocally bought all 200 HP, from the beginning, and merely got a good deal on it if VW charged a lower price than the identical car with different number on the label. But it was always their property from the beginning because that’s how property works.
They owe VW nothing after the fact, and always had the capital-r Right to use every bit of horsepower the engine was physically capable of!
The only reason someone could possibly disagree is if they’re a corporate whore who hates property rights and loves being subjugated. It is not a tenable position for any reasonable person to have.

Stop saying nurburgring
No, that’s absolute bullshit.
