There are places in macOS where Apple really makes sure that you do know about iCloud and do consider subscribing, but it’s still nowhere near what Microsoft does, and it feels more like someone offering you an optional dessert after lunch instead of extended car warranty.

Tbh I don’t think I’ve ever used the new Music app (I’m on Spotify) and the last two are not available where I live :)

I use the Apple Music app constantly and never get nagged to buy the service. On macOS, I just unchecked the "Apple Music" checkbox under "Show" in the Music Preferences, and on iOS turned off the "Show Apple Music" toggle in Settings > Music. Boom, no nagging.

Opt in vs. opt out. Those check boxes should be disabled be default. And they are not.
