It says "one time payment" but then it says "2 years of updates". I interpreted that as having to pay a second time two years into the future if I will want another two years of updates then. A bit misleading.

It doesn’t require you to upgrade so I don’t see the “misleading” part.

Not misleading - you understood it.

Lifetime license does not necessarily equal lifetime updates. 2 years of updates is generous enough for $19.

It's similar to a lot of pricing plans out there. For example I purchased Home Designer Pro 2022 a couple years ago for $450 and I can use the HDP 2022 forever. They have, of course, HDP 2024 but I can't use that one. I can upgrade for an upgrade price. However I don't need to upgrade and am happy to just use 2022 for the rest of time.
