 Today, most software is a service. Not owned, but rented. Buying it enters you into a perpetual landlord–tenant agreement. Every month you pay for essentially the same thing you had last month. And if you stop paying, the software stops working. Boom, you’re evicted.

 I guess this is due to the supply and demand based on people's psychology?

Sellers want to earn more money, buyers want to spend less money.

Sellers want to sell their product with a high price. If they sell it once, they would give such a high price, that people wouldn't buy it, so they make it a subscription service.

But I assume, buyers of services assume that for services they get the benefit of a maintanance.

Just my 5 cents. 
 Sounds like an Apple Phone at this point. 
 Guess it’s time to start pirating content again 🤷
