But you don't need blockchain to solve the issue with the push for subscription business models, it actually has zero impact on whether or not companies want to use that model. I can buy a digital file (providing someone is selling it of course) without blockchain, it's mine without blockchain, and I can use it however I want without blockchain, I can sell it without blockchain...so why would I need blockchain for this scenario? It doesn't provide a solution to a problem.

Companies will push for subscription models because they love that recurrent revenue and lock-in of the userbase it provides. blockchain isn't going to stop them from having this preference.
