Software-as-a-Service has killed the concept of software ownership, and it sucks.

I remember when buying software meant you paid once, got a CD or a license key, and you could use that exact version forever. Now, even basic text editors and calculator apps want $4.99/month.

We are trapped in a cycle of never-ending rent where we own absolutely nothing, and if a company goes under or changes their terms, the tool you rely on daily just vanishes. Is there any software you actively refused to upgrade to a subscription model out of principle?
