Unless something external changes the incentives in the market you aren’t gonna see bits in a box return as a business model any time soon. ARR is the only metric that matters to get you funding, it’s way more expensive to support multiple versions than something evergreen, and you can’t really do per-user unlimited device licensing without a login. You can fake it with per user keys but then someone has to have a login to manage them still and your key is now essentially just a login where self-service password resets can’t be done. Why bother when companies clamor for SSO about a billion times more than they ask for anonymous user accounts?
