How have we not started moving towards it when every company is trying their damnedest to get subscriptions? Look at new vehicles, they are paywalling features on an already purchased car, I bet you would have "bet against this" too before it happened. The problem is companies are slowly changing things over time hoping consumers don't notice until it's too late.
"Publishers will remove purchase options" does not follow from "Publishers want to add subscription options". The logic is not there.
If you can name more than a few games that removed their option for purchase due to something other than music licensing problems, that suggest it's part of a move to encourage people to use subscriptions, you have a case. Otherwise, it's fantasy. I can't even think of a single game that's done that.
