Jetbrains actually wanted to cut off access completely at first.

Initially JetBrains didn't even want to offer rollback licenses when they went to subscription only model a few years ago.

There was a big uproar among programmer communities (including here on HN) and after few weeks of deliberation a compromise of sorts was reached.

Despite offering a nice product line, JetBrains did lose a bunch of goodwill including mine. But goodwill does not pay the bills.
