    sometimes that's right, but other times it fires back. like in autodesk software, it turns into a money making machine. because they're the industry standard for more than a decade now, they just pump out new version every year with barely any changes and deliberately not forward compatible. so you just pay more every month, because everything is subscription based now.

      That's fair. Another example of what you describe that I'm more familiar with is Epic (medical records software). My hypothesis is that the differences that matter are:

      1. Cost of switching is higher and/or
      2. The people making the decision (business manager, hospital admin) are farther from the actual users of the software.

      Could be lots of other reasons too, but these are the ones that jump out at me.
