I hate Apple’s new app subscription bundle, even though it doesn’t technically suck

While a surprise, Apple Creator Studio, Apple’s new subscription bundle of professional creative apps for the Mac and iPad, isn’t all that out of character. The company makes a significant amount of money from “services,” the revenue raked in from things like in-app purchases and subscriptions to Apple TV. It’s also tested turning some former products into services when it made the iPad versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro subscription-based, rather than one-time purchases. Creator Studio is a natural extension of that logic.
