Maybe for the short term, but there is software you use every day, for years. Some android apps I have been using since 2014.

Reverse question: would you maintain a program that you wrote 11 years ago if it wasn't making you money?

No, but I also don't expect that as a user. It is also fine if the developer makes version 2.0 and I can decide to buy the new version or not. Before the internet this was pretty much how it worked, a new version came on a new floppy or disc you'd buy in a store.
