IDEs need to be constantly updated to keep up with language / framework changes. Your subscription pays for that continued work.
If you really want, you can buy the 1 year and cancel after it's up - you get a perpetual license for the version you're on at the time it expires, but I really don't get why that would be a good thing.
Sure, but visual studio offers a standalone purchase option and Jetbrains should too.
