I don't see how that's a "boomer" complaint lol I'm a millennial and don't know anyone that's excited to pay monthly fees for something they already bought

Because software needs to be maintained. Well at least most software that has a subscription model is maintained and gets regular updates. People don’t work for free, you have to pay them

That's the result of a fucked business model. Many software devs came and went prior to the subscription model. Technofeudalism is not wanted by anyone but the software publishers.

To them, it's the perfect business model. Keep you customers in perpetual debt, and dependent.

I don’t think you can compare software from like 20 years ago to software today.

Things got way more complicated and applications require a lot more work
