There's two sides to this actually.

I, as a customer, don't want to pay many companies directly. The prime example is any news publication. There are many I'd happily pay for except (like gym memberships it seems) it can be incredibly difficult to cancel. I won't reward that model so they get none of my money.

I think more specifically, as a customer, I don't want to be locked into bad subscriptions, whether it's gym memberships or news publications.

I'm fine paying companies directly, but I don't want them to manage my subscriptions

That is why I use Paypal. As a customer, why should I be constrained to use Apple's payment system as my only choice of middle-man?
