Solutions that do not require to have an account look more robust and stable

In the past when we bought an app, which then was on a CD, it felt like you really *have* this. It felt like it really *belongs* to you. Now, when the current form of getting services works as a subscription, we, in fact, do not own the app itself, but the app's account. In my opinion, the feature that makes this is the need to sign up for the apps' accounts because in this way what we really buy today is not the app itself, but just an access to it. To notice this fact and its effects we should look closer to things that may be seen as opposite: to use a physical a notebook or an MP3 player we do not need to register anywhere. For listening a radio we just need to have one and a dishwasher works without taking any of our data. To me, the services that for working require an account neither look robust nor stable. I do not trust Notion the way I trust my native text editor. I do not trust Figma with my files stored on somebody's computer the way I trust Gimp with my files stored on my hard drive. What is more, I do not even feel like they are *my* apps (in contrast to e.g. Gimp). I just have an access to it. Because of that, since I am not emotionally attached to it, switching to a different one is super easy.
