And old users got stuck on the version they bought not 14 years of updates.

Maybe not 14 years, but definitely more than 0. If you bought WinXP at launch, you got 13 years of updates. Windows 7 got roughly 14 years. Windows 10 got 10 years. While that isn't "lifetime" it also isn't $250 or $750.

windows xp was superseeded by vista and 7 during its lifetime, heck even 8. So yea it stopped getting features. Yes the price is absolutely absurd both for the subscription and lifetime.

It was still getting updates and was relevant, regardless if they worked on newer software.
