It would be great if it was possible to get a one time payment option for Android and Windows, even if you would have to purchase a license for each platform separately.

Currently it isn't possible. Official reason stated by them:
"Our annual subscription model ensures that our product for Android, Windows and Web benefits from a flexible infrastructure, offering you advanced benefits like Cross-Platform library sync while enabling us to keep improving the product. We’re always exploring new pricing models to better serve our customers."

I do not understand this either, but officially they state:
"Our annual subscription model ensures that our product for Android, Windows and Web benefits from a flexible infrastructure, offering you advanced benefits like Cross-Platform library sync while enabling us to keep improving the product. We’re always exploring new pricing models to better serve our customers."
Which can be found here: https://support.goodnotes.com/hc/en-us/articles/10359438511119-Goodnotes-for-Android-Windows-and-Web-Subscription-FAQs#h_01H9FVJ66ZDF4YM0MZKVR86RH8However I'm displeased with a lack of options in this regard and their explanation. If it is due to the cross-platform support, than I would like an additional option to just buy a one time license for 2 options — Windows and Android, since the website has to be hosted by them, so it's understandable, that it can't be permanently owned.

Currently Goodnotes on Android, Windows or even web isn't even close to feature parity with its Apple versions. I don't think it's a good idea to develop 2 separate versions of Goodnotes for different platforms.
Yes, eventually the versions might converge in terms of feature parity, but that will likely be a very long time. And even then maintenance would be problematic, as well as the development of new features, since there 2 different versions with different tech stacks and bugs, at the very least. This would likely perpetuate what is going on now, division; a main version — which has everything and is better version — and the alternate version — which doesn't have everything and is worse.
If instead the Apple version codebases were converted to a tech stack, which could facilitate easy development for all platforms at once, then Goodnotes could be easier to develop for all platforms, likely faster compared to developing two versions, which are at very different points of development. This would also mean, that the overall software could also be further improved in terms of polish, since now it wouldn't seem like a waste of resources, because the improvements would go to all of the versions at once.
Yes, converting a codebase is not an easy task, and the platforms are different, but at least having most of the code shared among the different version should be a huge improvement. I think it's a way better solution in the longterm than maintaing two different version.
