The model works for you - great. There are users who don't care for constant feature updates and rather own a product than perpetually rent it.

I do understand that. I'm not saying there's one size fits all. I just don't agree that subscribtions are inherently bad.

But - if those preferring a perpetual license were to be a strong minority, there would be no business incentive to make products in such a way.
