Eagle is now Fusion360, and so free for non-commercial or $10k would buy you more than 10y of subscription, I suppose that's debatable whether it's more or less than $10k for one-off perpetual licence, but I suppose I'd suggest if you were paying that much for software you probably also need it newer than 10y old and would've spent it again on a newer version?

You say that as if it a good thing. As a non-commercial user of cad-tools I avoid fusion 360 like the plague.
Now if they had charged a reasonable amount for a license I'd pay but now I see it as a net loss for society. The only goal it serves is to squasch competition and free software.
I just say it as if I consider it positioned between KiCad & Altium.
I'd like to avoid F360, but for 3D modelling it just seems so far ahead of FreeCAD, which still has the frustrations I have with F360 as someone used to working with git anyway; really I just want to learn OpenSCAD or similar well enough.

For MCAD give SolveSpace a try - https://solvespace.com/
