The moment you subscribe, you might as well forget Apple exists.
Slight disagree on this point. Having subscriptions tracked in one place and easily cancelled with a single tap does offer simplicity and some peace of mind. Unfortunately companies sometimes do unexpected things with subscriptions.
For example, say you turn off auto-renew during a promotional period. Often companies will take you through a please-don’t-cancel workflow where you have to find the hidden confirmation button. Worse IMO is when they end the promotional period immediately if you don’t keep auto-renew enabled. Protection from stuff like that must have some value.
