It wasn't.
To get access on day 1, you had to buy "Founder's Edition" which was the controller and a CCU, though. You also got 3 months of Stadia Pro with that. I was never a subscriber, other than that free 3 months, but I did buy a few Stadia games over the last few years and it worked really well for me.
Like I said before though, the messaging/marketing about the Stadia Pro subscription was TERRIBLE. Your misconception about it is VERY common
