Where have you experienced data lockin? That sounds like poor SaaS strategies from the 2000s.

Fusion 360 is one example off the top of my head.

I think I would agree for large traditional software companies like Autodesk or Adobe that charged large sums for software versions you typically don't update yearly (Creative Cloud), that a flat subscription model seems to be a bad fit.

Probably less so for software you use daily or make your living off of.

I use a text editor daily. I see no revolutionary methods being added to text editing that could ever justify me paying monthly. Even something as simple as a calorie counter has a monthly charge for features that never change (MyFitnessPal).
