Or just force all subscriptions to allow you to cancel with one click

Subscriptions with a dead man's switch. If you don't signal you want to keep the subscription after a few years, it's automatically cancelled. You can sign up at the same price you left with if it cancels automatically.

I don’t think an annual dead man’s switch is unreasonable or burdensome.

That would be fine with me too. I think every two would be my sweet spot if it was something like spotify.
