You don't "rent" your car, but plenty of people lease them. It's a good way to ensure that you are pretty much always driving something 2 years old or less. If you're the kind of person who drives their vehicle into the ground, leasing might even be cheaper. :)

On the other hand, we're all used to "subscribing" to cable TV and paying ridiculous prices for a whole butt load of channels we never, ever watch. We don't complain about not owning the shows and movies that we've paid for, do we? Given what I've paid for cable in my life, Adobe's sub rates seem rather tame.
