Why is “not subscription software” necessarily a good thing?
Don’t you want to be the customer rather than the product?

I personally consider that a "pro". You may not have experienced subscription fatigue yet, which is great.

You may have misunderstood — Little Snitch is a paid product that collects no data.
The reason I'm open to paying a monthly fee for a SaSS offering is to keep getting new features and timely security updates, and support ensuring the recurring expense aspects of the service can stay alive. It's not entirely clear to me yet why PortMaster needs to be a SaSS, but it's not implausible.
I don't have any Windows or Linux desktop machines in regular use currently, looking forward to trying this out once the Mac version exists.
To clarify, I'm absolutely not subscription shaming, and I understand that startups are effectively forced to use a SaaS model in order to attract investors.
