The math doesn’t really add up on getting a plow. You’re gonna spend 5k on something that’s decent and you’d have to spend a lot on plowing to make that balance out. Our plow bill is like 500 to 600 a year and Ive never thought it was worth it, by the time you break even you are going to need a new plow. Unless you want to do some for profit plowing on the side, that could make it worth it.
I agree wholeheartedly with your second point.

How big is your driveway. I bought a throw shower for about 1k. Last one lasted 10 years. Takes an hour to do a 150ft driveway and it gets done on my schedule. Not anybody else. Plus, it’s nice to be outside.

Buying a plow for your truck can be worth it if you have a long driveway, and/or steep or difficult terrain to deal with
My driveway is 400 feet long with two turnarounds & parking area
The quotes I got were really high, so the cost of a plow will pay for itself over 4-5 years
