And it's a huge downside. Meanwhile open source apps are usually available on every platform, with no purchase required.

I hear you. I used to use GIMP before I paid for PS. I bailed when Adobe went subscription, and figured I’d try Affinity for $10. It’s worth every penny. I’d get behind an open source alternative again if it met my needs.

I can understand it, I almost paid for Davinci Resolve Studio due to it still being the most complete video editor that works on Linux, most of the time closed source apps function better (specially due to the biggest funding), but still, using open source whenever you can basically prevents this from ever happening (specially after Canva bought Affinity, I'd keep an eye out for the eventual enshittification)
