Have you ever heard the term "straw man argument?"

  Have you heard of any non-enterprise software that charges annual fee for an access to the updates?

    All of the JetBrains products.

      Right. Any others? Point being that this is an unconventional fee model with very little real-world adoption, except for the enterprise market, where it's a norm. So trying to use it outside of that niche is risky. For every person who says that they would pay for the maintenance, there will be a dozen who will be completely pissed by it and won't hesitate to trash the product.
