Yep. Subscription models become a necessity when companies have a mature product and the feature set and stability changes don't apply pressure to update. Once the product is mature, people don't upgrade because it costs money and the old version does what they need it to do. That's a losing proposition for an MBA dominated world. So you counter that by making it so no one can ever own their software but they have to subscribe to it so you can continue to extract value.
