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.

Then again, application software wasn't cheap. Given inflation, would you pay a thousand bucks for a lifetime license of a piece of software that didn't get any updates ever?
