Make it an application that I can download, and run locally, and not a 'service/subscription' applic

One of the most frustrating things about where a LOT of companies are going is to subscription based applications.

I have a Mac Studio Ultra, M2 Ultra CPU, 128 GB Ram, Screaming fast SSDs...

Yet, everyone wants to run their software in the 'cloud' (Clouds are not fuffy wonderful places, they are Sub-Zero, freezing miserable places, that it is very hard to get to, hard to stay there, expensive to get to.. and you don't own them... and they can blow away on a whim.  Which is why cloud computing is so well named...)

I don't currently 'rent' software, so I stopped using Photoshop, and now use Pixamator and other applications that I can purchase, and run on my kicking fast hardware.  Something that *I* have control of, and if it stops working it would be because I upgraded the software/os and I can always go back to a backup using Time machine.

I also have 4 TB of space to store the software, so no problems there.  Paying $50/month to use would price this out of my range for the home use that I'd like to use it for.   $600 for a one time purchase, and updates for a year would not.  (Although, it would still be hard to justify, $200 and selling millions of copies would make more sense..)
