I think it was designed without any deeper thought behind it

I'd hate to have to use subscription if it was the only option available, because a) I don't feel I own the thing, b) as a hobbyist I'm never sure if I'll have the time to work on music, even if I plan a session time ahead.
But I love that the subscription alternative is there, for those for whom it makes economic sense, e.g. music is their job, they might need that specific tool for that one particular project they're working on this month, or they can't afford $400 for a DAW or $200 for a plugin. And I also love it because it provides an alternative, parallel income stream for the devs, which benefits also the permanent license holders.
So I'm confused how to vote. If I vote I love it, devs can interpret it they should drop the permanent license model. If I vote I hate it, devs can see it as a suggestion to drop subscription models instead and I know many people find them valuable. If I vote in the middle I've no idea what it means, i.e. does it mean I want both options to be always available? Or that I don't care and will use the one they decided to make available?
Sorry, but that's a stupid poll
