Subscription based CC means Adobe decides what updates are enough

Question

With subscription based Creative Cloud Adobe gets to decide what updates are enough.
With old CS products you, the user, get to decide whether new features are progress enough FOR YOU.
With new CC you don't have that power to impact and show Adobe whether you're impressed with new offerings or not.
Last, you are more forced to buy new hardware since you can't keep using older CC software version forever since at some point in time Adobe won't let you run certain CC version anymore.
Lets say CC version 3.0 doesn't support MacBook Pro (2012 model) with Mountain Lion anymore, but you don't want to buy new computer just because of CC 3.0 because all your other computing needs are still covered AND you really don't find new features in CC 3.0 useful TO YOU. In this case you can only keep on using old CC 2 until Adobe lets you (I've hear old version are let to be run for one year - that's a lot less than forever).
With old CS you have the power to not pay and show your opinion on new updates (money talks!). With new CC you have not.

It’s a big change for customers and a huge gamble for a corporation that believes it has complete pricing power. But having to grow revenue from a new business model, rather than new products, is also a sign of weakness. No wonder, we are told, they are listening to the backlash; notably from semi-pro photographers/hobbyists.
“The majority of our revenue comes from perpetual licenses. However, our subscription revenue, as a percentage of total revenue, has increased to 15% in fiscal 2012 from approximately 11% and 10% in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.”
[Quote: Adobe's CFO Mark Garrett]
The big test is twelve months hence. Garrett doesn’t mention the churn rate, but how many will cancel after the first year discounts come to an end?
Adobe will need plenty of new innovations to keep us subscribing!
