This used to be the case. Photoshop, for instance. I don't need it to have new features; there are certain things I need it to do for me, and that's it. I don't need constant new features. But I do expect security updates. Same model we have with cars (that BMW is trying hard to upend): it has the features I need, and if there's a systemic defect that poses a safety risk across those models sold, they're expected to fix it. I agree that subscriptions have become toxic in their prevalence.

>> I don't need constant new features. But I do expect security updates. Isn't updates to software in response to emerging security issues a "feature"?

  Nope lol it's most closely relatable to a product recall/repair.

    Usually, repair shops are not free.

Cars are nothing like software, they clearly deteriorate with time to the point parts eventually need replacing. You could argue there's a better case for a subscription model for buying cars than for software.
