Subscription software is convenient until the monthly charge starts feeling endless. I use office tools enough that cloud access and automatic updates make sense, but I still get why people miss buying one version and keeping it for years. For billing and access questions, https://microsoft-365.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html helps frame how users react when support becomes part of that tradeoff. The tradeoff is simple: less setup friction versus never fully owning the tool. For heavy use, the subscription can feel normal; for rare tasks, it can feel excessive.
