I just paid $400 once for Final Cut Pro and used it for a DECADE but Apple has been slooooowly dripping more and more features behind the subscription version in Apple "Creator Studio" ... and I think they're finally about to get me to pay ($129/yr) with this latest update.

they didn't move features you already had with final cut pro. He's talking about new features which were never guaranteed to be part of the lifetime license, all you are assured is continued access to existing software.

He makes so much off his videos that sub is just a footnote. He's not gonna care about making a pointless stand.
