>Something which we might use twice every three months shouldn't be getting monthly payments from us.

Agreed, but if I pay for my actual usage I'm fine with that. There's no way I'm paying for an Adobe CS monthly sub, but I'd pay a few quid a day to be able to use it as and when. That's not a reliable revenue stream for the vendors though, so I can see why they're not keen on it.

Maybe saas service leasing out subscriptions on a daily basis?

Everyone wants the mob-buisness model, were you break the users legs, if they don't pay up all they can every fortnight. Open Source runs completely contrary to that and will clash - aka locked out due to vendor pressure. Aka, you cant have blender on a autodesk system.
