We're talking 2 different things. You're pointing to examples of bug and security fixes. When I say updates, I'm referring to new and improved functionality. (in other words, probably a terminology issue: "update" vs "upgrade")

Software like Omnifocus 3 adds new functionality, or as you put it, "natural charge points for updates".

Mac OS has feature updates. Those were just two examples and it’s not just security.

I’m not against charging for feature updates, I’m against companies lying “Omnifocus costs $xx” and then changing their mind later to charge a new price even if you only want security updates.
