I understand the advantages of Saas - transparent updates, cloud based, redundancy, subscriptions, scaling, unicorns etc.

Why don't we have more businesses following the JetBrains model specially if the product is not a service that needs to run 24/7. I buy the product once and use it for perpetuity. If I want updates, I pay more.

As a consumer, my data does not leave my perimeter, my data is not sold or used for ads and I am not hooking into a subscription that I am going to forget soon.

1) Personal photos and videos backup and viewer. - Just give me a cheap cloud for backup and a desktop app for viewing. 2) Personal budget - Just give me a desktop app that connects to my different accounts and gives me overview.
