Yes, you're right. Of those, I use the Lamborghini - ON1. (Not that there's really anything wrong with using the Civic or the overpriced Rolls, if that's your choice. People have reasons for their choices - even if it's just to copy somebody they think knows better than they, or because it's the "fashionable" thing to do.)

"Ownership"? Software is one of the products that are sold not completely tested. It is expected to fail with the end users being the tell tales. We won't go into actual program ownership.
Like it or not, the only product that we can claim complete ownership is what we ingest. But then, there can be some costs in processing the end results. All large ticket properties can be levied ad-valorem taxes, making the local jurisdiction a unwanted ownership partner. Even property owners with released bank papers still have the various taxes demanded monthly making the jurisdictions partners ad infinitum.
A side stream event that is interesting to follow. The "ownership" of farm equipment that use computers. If one is interested in checking them out, there are many blurbs even on YouTube.
I don't care to delve further in this direction.

True, but it would be nice to use the advice from the GoPro package. I would be willing to give Adobe a lump sum payment, but they don't want it. They could offer the subscription for those who want or need constant updates, and they could offer it buy-it-once deal for those who just want the program.
I agree with you completely! I have Lightroom 6 and refuse to go beyond that until they give us another option besides the subscription.

I drive to work and you can't compare that with anything to do with photography. I would do almost anything to have a car but if money is tight I won't have no camera nor software. Photography is for fun and it's not something I must have.

And certainly a Civic is more than a good enough car for me. However not software or camera. As I said if money is tight I won't have them but I won't settle for anything less than what I want in term of my toys. I much rather not having them than having ones that I don't really want.

That's why I still use Photo Impact Pro v8.5; Elements 14 & 19, and DPP.
Don't need no stinkin' "Lamborghini".
BTW - my car is a 2011 Hyundai Sonata.

Actually if I have money to burn I don't think I would buy a Lamborghini either.

Have any of you ever been in the software development marketing and sales business. It’s not easy and it’s a different kind of business from most. Software that is the innovative and can sell for a reasonable price becomes a commodity that is expected to be very low or no cost. And then there are the testing and support issues. If you think itis easy to make make money in software then give it a try...
