The apps use graphics acceleration which some computers may not be able to use but you just turn it off. Until not too long ago it was possible to download older versions of the CC apps but there was a notice from Adobe that it was no longer possible to do that - I think it was over some third party licensing issue - if you search you should get more up to date info. My Mac is 5 years old but very well specified when purchased and I don't think there have been any issues with needing to upgrade hardware. I can't really answer your question as it hasn't happened to me yet. I don't like the subscription either and I resisted for some time but the benefits far outweigh the negatives in termes of features and speed so it is now part of life. One thing I've often wondered is what happens when and if Lightroom Classic requires an upgrade to operating system or hardware, can you carry on as you are and forego future updates or are you stuck without possibly changing to a new computer?
I'm not totally averse to the subscription model though I would far prefer leasing Lightroom on its own.
