Your sentiments are valid and I appreciate your feedback about trying the online version, @Thassell1963.

Please know that if you upgrade to a higher version of QuickBooks before September 30th, you should be able to continue using it as a standalone program even if you decide not to pay for support in 2025 or 2026, excluding payroll features. It would still be accessible for your use. 

You can utilize this article for more information about the QuickBooks Desktop product: Can't buy QuickBooks Desktop as a new US subscriber.

In case you want to switch to the Enterprise version of QuickBooks Desktop, you may visit this link for more details: QuickBooks Enterprise.
