tldr is that you can hide the button that asks for payment and it says "purchase immich" instead of "purchase liscence"

I've basically agreed with you this whole time, see my initial comment regarding the difference between the previous comtribution model and the new request for purchase:

Yeah, functionally it's the same.

However we're drawing different conclusions about the situation. You say it's misleading and morally wrong to refer to "buying" this software, I say it isn't and that it's actually a helpful perceptual change in fostering support from their users.

I don't really think there's anything else to say beyond that. If you don't like how Immich is handling their software, don't use it.
