Around the time you expected to be able to work as a software developer for most/all of your life? Sure, I'd prefer to pay $20 for something I'll get free updates for for the rest of my life, but I get why that's not a viable business model when the company needs to pay a six figure salary to devs for the upkeep. It's not desirable as a consumer, but I'd rather just get everything for free and just the way I want it as well. It's a compromise. OP wasn't saying that they prefer it this way, just that if you're literally mad and offended by what they're charging, then you're both blowing things out of proportion and not reacting proportionallyy.
