Business will NOT be able to buy one license and have upgrades forever. They will have to pay for a new copy of Windows every time they buy a new computer.
Same reason that Windows XP hasn't changed much in 12 years yet businesses had to update it.
And how many business do you know that use 12 year old desktop PCs for their day-to-day office work?

Correct.
Any amount of money they may lose by giving away upgrades for free to existing users is minuscule in comparison to the number of paid-for new copies that will be sold during that time.
Only a tiny minority of people would ever have purchased a new copy of Windows to upgrade an existing machine.

I am not asking anyone to believe my opinion just posting what it is. Thought this was a discussion board am I mistaken?

Far as I'm aware, you lose updates if you unsubscribe, Windows keeps working, same as what happens if you upgrade an unlicensed copy.
