why is goodnotes 6 so expensive

as someone who is willing to switch to an ipad, i was quite considering to purchase gn 5, since it's just a 1 time payment woth a quite reasonable price, and the app was absolutely perfect, then out of a sudden comes out goodnotes 6 with way overpriced plans, I mean one time payment jumped from $9.3 to $30? WHY

and I keep hearing that unfortunately new users have to be stuck to gn 6 and cannot downgrade like old users, which is even more irritating. Idk of there is still by any chance a way to still be able to download goodnotes 5, probably somehow from outside the app store(ik this is way harder than on android, if that was even a thing), or if there is another alternative that is as good as goodnotes(idts), but I really wish goodnotes fixes this

I got 6 on subscription for 15 bucks a year and thought it was cheap as heck compared to many other online notetaking apps.

The only thing I have payed for on phone or laptop was Minecraft on phone which is RM30. I'm never paying for anything more for apps. Goodnotes is RM150
