I can kind of understand why they don't want users buying a lifetime pass. It means they will not get any further funding from that person. It's worth the tradeoff when you are smaller and need funding, but kind of a hinderance once you are more established.
Either way, I'm glad I purchased the lifetime pass when it was much cheaper years ago.
Yeah Lifetime Passes are unsustainable for a service. The only reason they exist is to attract some early adopters, keep them and if lucky enough have them bring more customers.
The only viable path forward is to discontinue the purchase of new lifetime licenses, or make them exponentially expensive.
