Honestly it feels like desktop software should make a comeback.

You pay once, get a set of features and that’s it. It won’t randomly change on you one day.

Open source doesn’t solve anything for most people. It adds work if they have to figure out how to run it, etc.

On the server side, you have things like Moodle, which has one instance per X number of users, only a browser needed. And there are many others. If you outsource the hosting, you still have choice, unlike a closed package, where you don't.
