Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Personally, I find the idea of
having to pay a subscription fee for the privilege of using a piece of
software to be very distasteful. I'd rather own it. Then again, I also
find the idea of paying a monthly/yearly fee to listen to music
distasteful. I suspect I'm not alone. I'm not sure what percentage of
the population would agree or not; but I suspect most would rather own
than rent.

For me that's still too expensive, considering other products are out
there that are cheaper and do the same things in many cases.
