All products seem to decline the moment the revenue model switches to monthly recurring. This is always contrary to the promise that they won't and that money will be invested in product improvements.
If you think it's bad now wait until they consolidate the rental PC market (Bezos and Nadella are all over that)
That does seem strange now that you mention it.
Because they are no longer competing with their own previous version. This means they only compete with the other crap, or don't care because they are a monopoly.
