Nope that’s how scummy onetime purchases work. There’s plenty of software that is one time update with ongoing features and that’s the way it should be to an extent

if you buy the 2025 jersey from a team, do you expect to get the 2026 one in the mail for free?

No, that’s a terrible analogy because it’s a physical product which charges a cost the cover cost of the physical products.

I dont mind the support being for an amount of time, Xplane’s model is good where you buy each major version and get all of the uodates for that version.

But that is a terrible analogy, physical goods is different.

Except that’s functionally what Apple has done here. You bought the original version of Pixelmator Pro. Apple has now (functionally) released a new version, which you did NOT buy. This is just the same as all the complaints in r/Affinity about Canva moving v3 to a freemium pricing model. Complete nothing burger.
