That is not really Linux' fault though. If you all keep buying this auto-updating subscription crap you are sending the signal to the companies involved that you bought in to their view. The only way to make them reconsider is to stop using it.

No one was given the choice. Or the choice was to "upgrade" to a subscription or throw away the technical investment in the platform, starting from scratch with a new and unfamiliar and usually less capable software.

When I get ripped off by a party I go elsewhere. I don't say 'oh wow, that was bad, let's see what other creative ways of ripping me off they will find in the future'.
