I was days away from ordering a Remarkable 2, despite the high price.

I could see it being amazing, with screen-share, in diagraming and sharing visually with webex/zoom colleagues.

Now it looks like I'll need to pay them $7.99/month for the privilege ? Instant hell-no.

I bought one a few days ago (yet to be shipped). One of the reasons for buying was their announcements for subscriptions and their promise to keep old accounts under the old plan forever.
According to this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28847243 if you buy before December 21 you get it free for lifetime

Yep. Yesterday.

This is a Swedish company, it's DDMMYY
I think it is Norwegian company.

I understand in theory they may grandfather me in if I act now on this limited-time offer.

But screen-sharing, essentially what's on the table to an app on my Laptop, should not require cloud services nor a recurring monthly subscription.

The coupling reeks and has really turned me off my decision to buy.
