these days if you choose not to upgrade you often lose support, and for security critical software it seems you want patches... so even if annual or biannual upgrades don't feel like a subscription, they kind of are... just with a longer interval between subscription payments and a slower cadence for feature delivery. honestly i think these things are more about lock-in or perceived lock-in, or simply not wanting to waste precious time. even though it's actually fairly easy to jump between password managers, it's still a "migration" or another task where when one's time becomes scarce the thrill of a sundry task like redoing one's passwords is overshadowed by the laundry list of things one could do with their time instead. sure, it's nice to tend the garden, but how many other things would you rather spend an afternoon on that either develop skills, enhance life or recreate in one way or another.
