Why does every news site require subscription cancellation through their customer service instead of a cancel button?

Because consumer protection legislation is lacking.

Not only that, but by telephone. At least when I was a subscriber, around 2 years ago...

WSJ does not require this actually (I've ended and restarted by subscription before). Last I checked NYTimes still does require speaking with a CSA

10min later someone else posts another article from some random news website also using paywalls, so according to you now I have to subscribe again for this new website that has a minimum plan of 1..2 months, or maybe do I check for the annual subscription of $50 so I'm done with this website?

Your logic is so brilliant, I'm amazed.
