Ok, but doesn't this essentially mean the project is abandoned? I mean if there are no real technical/platform innovations in the desktop app. Only new templates, formatting improvements, integrations (import export) stuff like that... They are just borderline scamming existing users out of any money they can with minimal effort.

For a graphics editor to have no 4k support at this point is insane IMO. As a graphics editor you would want to have THE BEST MONITOR out there. Apple's monitor is 8k for example.
