> - Doesn't apply to old versions

It's not beyond the realm of reasonable belief to assume they can or will roll out some breaking change eventually that forces upgrades.

Or shift other (possibly not yet existent) assets between versions.

The goodwill has been burned and now everything needs to be contractually spelled out.

Or, for a good number of people, they can bail out to Godot for 2D or Unreal for 3D or consoles.

That isn't really a thing they can do for already shipped games, unless your game has an online component with dedicated servers and you need to update unity on the server side for a security fix. Most games don't upgrade their engine post launch, unless they are a live service game intended to get constant, significant updates for a long time.
The old version of Unity can be used offline. Truly offline. How are they going to force you to upgrade? Hakc into your PC?
this is a pretty naive comment.
Except our stuido has been using Unity 2020 for 3 years :)
