This is part of the problem. Give me software that runs locally only, and there's no need for "backend support". This insane integration of local software with unnecessary remote services is absurd.
But yes, obviously one should pay for feature upgrades, as it was in the 90s. Everything went to hell when software started having the Internet as a core dependency.
