So you would pay what equates to $6/mo to have it all as a single charge once a year instead of monthly?

Most things are flat payment for the thing plus a support window (aka warranty period).

Just let me own it as is, and decide if I want to pay for new features/updates later. Plenty of software is sold under this licensing model, and it works.

Its about "owning" and you can use the client for longer than this time.

This is why i love jetbrain, ITS a subscribtion, but you have a fallback licence.
