Maybe it's possible, but...

Without a continuous internet connection, it would be complicated to validate (would the user not be able to change the date?).

More than that, this is no Photoshop nor Lightroom, what sort of big feature plan, with guaranteed continuous updated, would be laid for the camera that would make the photographer happy to constantly pay for it? Not only PS or LR, this is no PC hardware which can do whatever a developer thinks, it's got its limits and there's only so many features you can add.

I might be wrong but paid updates (w/out subscription) seems more reasonable to me.
