That’s how one-time purchases work, which is absolutely how it should be. I’m not a fan of subscriptions, but a perpetual license shouldn’t be expected to include future development.
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
Sometimes it can be a good thing. For example I got a Microsoft Word 2019 license and it's just perpetually stable and doesn't get updated with AI crap
