You said it yourself - now you can pay $1 for 1 song and own it forever. Still a better deal than what we had back in the CD era.

I don’t think you own it, just a lifetime license (for you and X friends/« devices » sometimes).

Depending on how extensions go, your children and grandchildren may have to re-pay to listen to your collection.

Amazon Music used to sell music DRM free, you could download it and do what you wanted with it. Not sure if that's still the case.
