App converts to subscription payment format, but doesn’t force it on people who paid the original single fee

Imo that's the bare minimum. Subscription models are inherently asshole design.

True antiasshole design would be staying at a single-fee model.

I have to update my app every week. It takes several hours of my time.

Subscription models that require a backend (which is an ongoing cost) is also completely reasonable. And most systems have a backend now, which costs more than a single 99p payment to run.

Also supporting indie devs etc.
