Another thing that some proponents of subscriptions don't seem to get, is that pay-once software competes with each other only once; when I decide what to purchase first. I could buy App A now and buy App B later. But subscription-based apps/services compete with each other every single month; they are constantly at risk of me cancelling a subscription – and realizing that I can live without it after all – whenever I review my needs and finances.
