That’s basically how IntelliJ (and the other JetBrain IDEs) work. They market it as a subscription, but after you’ve been subscribed for a year you get an key that lasts forever for the version that you initially subscribed to. Subscription years after the first (so basically, choosing to upgrade from the initial version) are cheaper than the first year.
It would be nice if they chose to have an option to just buy a version outright without the appearance of a subscription, but I understand why they don’t.
