It’s better this way actually from my experience. You can test the app for free and then pay once you determine if it’s worth it.
I have used several apps that needed up front payment, only to find afterwards they lacked specific features, or didn’t work the way I expected. In those cases I had to try my luck with the refund process. Sometimes I got refunded, other times just got fucked over.
The article likes to say that apps want money for the shareholders, but I have seen lots of one-dev apps go the subscription route. It’s simple, all apps require ongoing work, paying a few bucks once is not sustainable.

Yup. Even if you don’t change anything in your app, it still requires maintenance to run on newer devices.
