Theme Charges

I don't understand the concept of a monthly fee for some of the themes. What do the fees pay for? Does LS update our content for us if we pay the monthly fee?

However, when we are branched out, we still pay the monthly fee, but don't receive the updates, so in this case we're pretty much paying for nothing.
Is there a way to branch out and opt out of the monthly payment ? Or at least to get the updated code when new updates come out so that we can add it ?
Moreover, some bugs are so specific, they are hard to explain and involve many back and forths before getting fixed. We simply don't have enough time for that, especially when fixing them ourselves takes a couple minutes.
