Subscription based SaaS doesn't bother me in and of itself. Cloud based supporting multiple collaborators and multiple devices, tech support often built in, no managing upgrades or patches, etc.
The problem is portability and lock-in. Which itself might be due to lack of standardization.

AFAIK FramaSoft decided to stop working on FramaCalc (based on / hosting EtherCalc, based on SocialCalc), because it was just too hard for a small association like that (which already has to deal with managing lots of other services for free), but they seem to have decided to postpone the shutdown, I guess because of COVID ? https://framacalc.org/abc/en/ https://framacalc.org/abc/en/ (For instance it supports exporting ODS but not importing it.)
