Ugh. AutoDesk (sort-of) did this with Eagle (PCB design) when they acquired it -- in that case it drove me to learn KiCAD which in the end was what I needed to do! (and I think the AutoDesk acquisition of Eagle also invigorated interest and spurred development of KiCAD!).
I recently got a 3D Printer and have been learning Fusion360 and designing my first parts. Guess I'll take another look at FreeCAD.
In general, I'm happy to pay for things that "have value", but the pricing here ($495/year) is just too much to justify for a hobby.

Version 3.0 is nearing completion but if you can build from source or use the snap store you can use it now: http://solvespace.com/index.pl http://solvespace.com/index.pl https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace There are also a few great YouTube channels with tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEvJVXu3VfGMSOdpA0jrGRzoM7NlNOl5s https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEvJVXu3VfGMSOdpA0jrG...
