I don't understand what you are on about.
Adobe does not force anyone to buy their products on subscription or on those that are subscription-free.
In fact, you went to them.
They do not steal your files and you can still do basically everything in LR except for Develop (and I think Maps) if you were on a subscription and then decide to cancel.
So, you can still organise, retrieve, view, export and share. Heck, you can still even print. Forever and for free!
What more do you want?
Look, if you are serious about photography then whatever edits you have made are already near perfect. And presumably you have saved these out.
Now you go to a new program and do what you want to or need to do.
I just don't get what the problem is.
