As is the case for virtually every dark pattern subscription (most of them) when not through Apple.
This isn't a problem, it's a benefit -- from customer point of view.
Apple makes a customer-friendly rather than seller friendly subscription UI, the reason I won't subscribe to things any more except through Apple.
It's genuinely surprising to me the proportion of customer hostile rhetoric on this topic.
Also very easy to change your plan level up or down.

I just bought an iPad app the other day (my first), it didn't meet my needs, but I still can't figure out where to go to refund it. And Apple's subscriptions expire immediately if you cancel during a free trial, whereas the Google ones will still let you finish the term of your trial.
Apple's not really the good guy either. They're just the powerful ones.
Amusingly, this is only the case for Apple's first-party subscriptions. Third-party IAP subscriptions for which you are in the free trial when you cancel will continue to provide "access" until the trial period concludes.
