But the whole point of this thread is that everything is moving to subscriptions. So... dont use any service ever then I guess?

  That is untrue. Also you named it: service. Not everything is a service, and not all services are required. While you can't easily avoid insurances, bankings, healthcare, internet/mobile provider you can easily avoid spotify, office365, netflix, evernote or telegram or a gym subscription.

    Yeah, and technically, I don't need housing either, I can just live on the street. > telegram Not if important contacts are on there. The point is, there is a clear trend. Various things we traditionally saw as "products" already morphed into services and I don't see any indication this will reverse in the near future. On the contrary, with more devices becoming connected, the trend will likely increasingly include physical devices. See BMW's experiments with requiring subscriptions to use hardware you already own. See also the whole John Deere debate from a few years ago. Etc. So while not technically impossible, it will become increasingly harder to not use services.
