Interesting perspective. Let me share my thoughts, which might relate to consumer psychology:

- With a buyout system, users perceive that they own the item after payment.

- With a subscription system, users perceive that they are renting the item after payment.

When there's a mismatch in expectations (I pay to own, but you only let me rent), users feel deceived and angry. The same issue occurs with the ownership of accounts in online games, where some game companies state in their terms of service that the game account belongs to them, not the user, naturally leading to user outrage.
