> But why subscription for local-only software?
I assume that they decided the business model and user experience separately. It's generally harder to build local-only software than stuff that just uses the cloud for all the hard work, but it's a better user experience. I'd be willing to pay more for local-first, but yeah it certainly does feel weird.
