I'm from academia, and I'm surprised that you think that way. The moment you stop paying them, you will not be able to accessv **your own data** because it is in **their** weird format. Science should not be tied to who can afford to buy a license or software. Science should be publicly available. In 15 years that company might be already bankrupt, which means your science is trapped in their ecosystem and next generation of scientists cannot even open your files anymore! This is bad.
