Ok, it says that further down the pricing page. I don't see how that fits with "Perpetual license Lifetime updates". It feels deceptive.

Insert some convoluted argument about new versions being "new versions" and not updates, so one is not entitled to them ;-) , just like politicians argue things like genocide not being genocide.

I hate the subscription model but I do recognize if they continously update the software, they'd like to get paid to do so.

Absolutely. Just make it clear.
