Welcome back to the 90s; I miss that model of software, as do a lot of people. When you buy something, you still have that something. It may become obsolete in time but as long as you have the hardware/OS that can run it, you still have access to it.

I worked in a daycare center when I was in my teens. I saw a kid (doing a kid thing) with a bag of skittles. He was giving it out to his friends but licking each skittle as he handed them out. I did put a stop to it but I had to stop chuckling to myself at the faces everyone made when getting a pre-licked skittle first. Fast forward a few decades and software subscriptions remind me of that moment, every single time.
