You do GIS projects infrequently as a hobby. Simple stuff. You want own some GIS software. Subscription is burdensome due to infrequent use and you don’t care about next year’s features.

Take a look at Slopes app's season pass. Use it 15 days per year? Buy a pass. Need it everyday? A subscription will be much cheaper per day of use.

Another way: just write some R, Python, etc. - plenty of GIS there too.
