Because it reflects the costs involved in keeping an app up to date on an ongoing basis

Right, right, because these subscription apps never close down and leave all their customers with nothing...
I don't expect to pay for minor bugfixes. If there's a major change, get a new app out and give a discount to previous version owners if you feel like.
This implies that I want to pay for an app to stay up to date. I do not. Obviously this would be more expensive, which is why I would only do that when I'm confident that I'll continue to use it. Unfortunately there usually isn't any option
