They do offer better services, though. Subscription wise, it is significantly more consumer friendly in the way they can be managed and cancelled compared to signing up with people directly.

They offer good services, not "better" ones, since we have no basis of comparison for what other shops on iOS could look like.

Yes, we do. Every other subscription service on earth which requires hoops to jump through to cancel, usually on their own site with own logins.

Rather than a list where I could just cancel all.

We can and do compare it to the experience we get from the developers of the apps/subscriptions directly. Many are a much worse experience than clicking a simple button in iOS.
