Unless it were like $0.20 a month which is equivalent to buying a $25 every ten years, there's no point.

But they will probably try and charge something stupid like $5 a month or $10 a month for their supreme collectors edition package.

And even then, I'd rather not have to keep paying for a subscription that could stop and brick my mouse at any time when they decide to "consolidate their product offerings" like Spotify did with the Car Thing. (plus, card fees would mean they'd actually be losing $0.05-$0.10 or more off the purchase price every time your card gets charged, at that price point)
