Straw man. I’ve signed up for and cancelled the Times online on my phone with no issues many times.
GP specifically called out using apple for their consumer protection features. I've seen this many times before. Maybe you disagree, but many other americans absolutely use apple to hedge against a (perceived?) lack of consumer protection laws.

Sure, they make it easy. It's still a straw man to use that to assail American consumer-protection laws, which are largely some of the most robust in the world. (In practice. Not on paper. Plenty of countries have fine models on paper, but they're also easy to ignore.)
This does of course require you to have Apple devices. However I am much more likely to subscribe to low-dollar subscriptions through Apple, precisely because I know I can cancel with no issues.
