I see more and more products are being sold as monthly subscriptions. If you had a choice, would you prefer to just buy once or pay a little every month?
The price of the subsciption for 4 years is only $90.00 but the macOS package is $170 and limited to macOS.
I use the Office365 subscription and it works well for me. I pay $7/month and the entire Office suite is kept up to date. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, all included. That works out to breaking even in two years, which is about the Office update cycle.

I downloaded a trial of CC and when I imported the video it immediately downloaded the codex I needed and I could now start editing. I ended up getting a subscription.
I see nothing wrong with subscribing to software that's needed to do your job. We use some fairly expensive church software in our ministry which recently has gone to a quasi subscription scheme. Subscribing offers more features and better support, however, after weighing that with using what we already have and knowing that we will not get all the bells and whistles, we decided to keep using our already paid for software.
But it does look like the big developers are all trending toward the subscription scheme: Microsoft, Adobe, Faithlife, Corel, and others.
