Neobanks definitely have this feature. For example Revolut. There’s a “Block future payments” button, and once you click it, no more charges from that merchant will go through.

Yes, but this is not a correct way to unsubscribe. They might for instance still send a bailiff to collect their money.

What I'm talking about is an official way to unsubscribe. One that the user fully controls, and is free of dark patterns.

What if you want to change your subscription level, rather than unsubscribe?

The requested feature is more like list-unsubscribe headers for mailing lists[1]. Instead of categorizing the mail as spam (blocking) you send a clean unsubscribe back to the sender.
