Dirty upsells for recurring revenue.
Apple pushes iCloud REALLY HARD. I'm on the free plan but I paid when on holiday and now I get heavy dark patterns from Apple (phone UI, emails, yadda).
Android too? Persistently asking "Photos backup is turned off! Turn it on?" to use up storage to justify a subscription fee?
Too often you can feel a UI push towards some revenue stream - frustrating UX!
