> Maybe the AppStores can implement something like version limiting and you can ask for a payment for upgrading to the new version

I can only assume this is a deliberate omission to push people into subscriptions.

IMHO it's not that. I think they don't want to have users with outdated apps. It makes the experience of the device worse and especially Apple is very protective over the user experience since that's how they sell iPhones.

IMHO it's a worse experience to own a device that can't be used for what you want to do without paying monthly fees to app developers.
