So, is what they are doing worse than what most subscription models do (lose complete access)? I've been using them for awhile and I felt they were really up front about what they were doing, but I don't know if they've always been as transparent.

It's definitely better than that. But it's still not good. This is all my personal opinion though, I already voted with my wallet by not buying their products any more.

Jetbrains actually wanted to cut off access completely at first. Initially JetBrains didn't even want to offer rollback licenses when they went to subscription only model a few years ago. There was a big uproar among programmer communities (including here on HN) and after few weeks of deliberation a compromise of sorts was reached. Despite offering a nice product line, JetBrains did lose a bunch of goodwill including mine. But goodwill does not pay the bills.
