If they're not offering security updates then it's a subscription.
I'd say that's up for debate. Subscription to me is that it's required to continue using the product. We all know if you stop paying for Netflix you don't get to stream anymore.
This is more akin to if Netflix said "If you stop paying us you can continue watching what is currently in our catalog, but you won't be able to watch anything new that comes out until you resubscribe".
This is more akin to "If you stop paying us, it's a matter of time until your network gets hacked through some known vulnerability that was published a year ago."
They haven't said that necessarily and I'd like more explanation. Generally when companies go eol for things like this security patches are always included, but new features aren't included. But I haven't seen anything saying that, so yes that would be my worry
