> If you become a public nuisance, and/or threaten or injure people due to the influence, those are also obvious offenses.

Too many good innocent people will be unable to fix the issue once it gets started. This view may appear well intentioned but the end result is suffering for people who are lied to by people offering prescriptions or who fall for the people who talk up legal things that they themselves like but that are actually bad for health. (Like alcohol)

In capitalism, the market can decide to want software purchase options beyond just subscriptions. Plenty of people in this thread have been offering examples of great alternatives like how JetBrains does it. But I do agree that there should be a bigger pushback against making things a SaaS that don’t need to be a SaaS.
