you're thinking of GM, the dealer, and GM Financial as all the same entity and they aren't.
the most likely scenario is that GM Financial wants you to feel like you have no choice but to walk away from your lease or go back and lease/finance another GM branded product (which lines their pockets since they are banking on you leasing or financing with GM Financial). Ground your lease and it has profits? This lines GM Financial's pockets because they are going to make the dealer pay inflated prices or send it to auction and get inflated bids.
They are banking on not many people being willing to finance or pay cash to get out of a lease personally just to trade it and get into yet another loan immediately.
I don't think it's funny at all for people to want to either make money or walk away from negative on a lease since that's the whole point. You are paying someone else to take the risk with the ability to net a profit (in those rare times a lease is profitable). That is exactly the premise of leasing. it's not about cheap payments, despite it being marketed that way
