How would you feel about a subscription service that guaranteed updates? Essentially, upgrade pricing, but charged every month.

Will my compiler or IDE stop working if I don't pay the subscription fee? You can guess how I'd feel about that.

No: you’re paying for updates, not the privilege of getting to use the software.
