I don't think the price is high but the main point is do we want to buy or rent or both buy and rent but now there is only one option just rent or subscribe everyone wants to support the original program but I am a minority who choose not to rent or pay monthly yearly for temporary use in the future there may be more options such as buy and use permanently no need to rent monthly yearly or may add a free option that can be used permanently but may be able to use only some things which the free option is in many antivirus programs that have free and premium options.

Who cares? Either way money comes out of my wallet. I have to judge by the product that I'm getting vs what I pay. The mechanism is mostly irrelevant.

You never bought Photoshop or any other software. What you buy is a license to use it according to the terms of use.

"When you purchase software, you receive a copy of the software and a license to use it. You don't actually own the software—ownership rights belong to the software company, and you're still limited by the terms and conditions of the license."
