You don't have to buy a washing machine every few years, and you shouldn't have to buy an iPhone every few years either. That's just consoomer nonsense. Washing machines of all kinds are repairable. Subscription software is different. It's closed source, and often times there's no way to fix it. My Omnifocus 2 outright purchase for what is effectively a todo app bugged out in one of the MacOS upgrades in a way where it was still completely functional, except now there's a permanent grey box in front of the interface. I could buy a new version, but they haven't added or changed anything of value, and it costs more, so guess what, not buying it. I'd buy an upgrade for $5, maybe $10 if I really used it. That's digital capitalism. Subscription services, where you don't get access to anything if you stop paying, are even more disgusting.
