Why would a file manager that runs locally and doesn't require tons of flashy features have a monthly subscription? It's so stupid. I prefer the Jetbrains mode

Why would a file manager that runs locally and doesn't require tons of flashy features have a monthly subscription? It's so stupid. I prefer the Jetbrains model of pay subscription or license, but subscriptions become cheaper as you had more time subscribed (IIRC, 30% discount on 3rd year)
