The thing is, ALL the software now is going to force you to comply to their terms of service.

Back in the day, I bought the software, and it and the products were mine.

Is this Adobe kind of an on-line ‘leased’ software? Which gives them access to the product.

Next is Crayola. Lease your 8-color box. All drawings of stick people, a house, and the spiney sun belong to them.

You pay a monthly fee for their software. (Yes, it's online.)

(I don't know about all of the Adobe products, but the pay-one-price Photoshop Software download supposedly ended in 2017.)

Unfortunately just about everything is going to subscription only. I do use Autodesk software for my engineering side of business as it does provide value by running computations on their servers . All the other stuff I used has been able to be replaced with open source software. Except Excel which I have to use for legacy data.
