There are carve-outs in the legislation for this. It's a moot point.

So it's ok for companies to misrepresent their subscription services as a "single-payment" acquisition and pull the brought product away form their customers when they want?
No, if they materially misrepresent their product like this it is fraud and a crime. A new law isn't needed if a prosecutor or plaintiff can show the misrepresentation.
Like what? I read it and don't see workabke carveouts.
