    Because software needs to be maintained. Well at least most software that has a subscription model is maintained and gets regular updates. People don’t work for free, you have to pay them

      That’s the result of a fucked business model. Many software devs came and went prior to the subscription model. Technofeudalism is not wanted by anyone but the software publishers.

        I don’t think you can compare software from like 20 years ago to software today.

        Things got way more complicated and applications require a lot more work
