You know how every old person you know has to hold things further and further away to read them the older they get? This is presbyopia, or "age-related farsightedness." It eventually happens to everyone, it's just part of getting older. Basically the lens in your eye stiffens over time because of a protein deficiency, and that causes the light to refract at the wrong point in your eye. Folks with otherwise acceptable vision typically correct it with reading glasses

    That's because Apple hasn't charged for OSX/MacOS updates since 2013 with OSX 10.9

    Edit: I also don't think they were ever $99. I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 back in 2009 and I think it was only like $30, and they had to ship me a disc with the update so it's not like they didn't have any overhead they had to pay for
