That didn't happen by what they tried to push. This happened because there was lots of developers threatening to walk over a pure subscription model.

That's still the good thing. Can change the narrative to "developer tools company listens to its customers and gives them a fair deal". The effect is amoral, even if the cause is moral.

Oh, I remember that pushback. Glorious days of outrage culture when it wasn't abused yet and the consumer power was strong
