– Many features Maya LT don’t have

Im’ not a Blender evangelist , you should try it some day and you’ll find that putting 30$ per month for something you can have for free is a loss.

Except for rare features where Blender excels, it typically is a weaker, watered down 3d tool that tries to do everything and only succeeds in doing everything so-so. Luckily, especially for beginners, that is often good enough.

I don’t know why you lack so much consideration for beginners or indie companies that makes games or movies using Blender.
Perhaps blender interface is not intuitive and can be longer to learn , but the modeling and animations have more than what you need, these two areas are better than Maya LT. Many users of both software agree that Maya LT is a downgraded version of Maya with many limitations ( Autodesk want to keep studios buying Maya instead of Maya LT).

Also the price should be around 10-12$ like photoshop , actually spending 360$ per year is expensive considering what LT proposes and you could invest that money in better ways .
