I agree with you and wish this was far more common. JetBrains is one company that does it well. They let you download previous versions or upgrade to the latest version if you have an active subscription. If your subscription lapses you can still download older versions of the software from the time you had an active subscription. I've done both, kept the latest version or rolled back to previous versions when I didn't like the latest changes. So, it's certainly doable, and I wish more companies offered this.
