#2> Sublime Text license keys are no longer tied to a single major version, instead they are now valid for all updates within 3 years of purchase. After that, you will still have full access to every version of Sublime Text released within the 3 year window.
I really love this model.

Isnt it just a simple subscription model with a 3 year term?

#4I like how I started years ago by saying “Notepad sucks, let me try Notepad++ and Sublime Text”.
Now it’s almost an IDE, but still a great text editor!

Depends on details but +most+ "subscriptions" sadly increasingly mean you can't use any version whatsoever once you stop paying for it.
I'd call it purchase plus support period but it may be the enterprise IT geezer in me :->

I think this implies that after 3 year, you can keep using whatever is the last version you were using. It's basically license to get what you have right + any versions in the next 3 year.
JetBrains also has a similar license for yearly subscriptions, where you can keep using whatever version was supported at the end of the license.

No, with a subscription you lose access after 3 years.
This is purchasing (not subscription), but that includes 3 years of upgrades too.

Subscription models like Office365, Creative Cloud, etc., lock you out of the software version you’re already using when the subscription expires. In this approach, you can continue to use that version just fine. (And even still upgrade, if you’re yet not on the newest version your license extends to.)

A lot of subscription models would lock you out after expiry, plus obviously the terms are usually much shorter.

Not really since you don’t lose access to prior versions. It’s more like buying the old Photoshop CDs but then getting three years of updates with that purchase.
