Apple is also culprit of this.

I activated the free trial for Apple Arcade because an ad for it was prominently shown in the settings app.

If you cancel the free trial, they immediately terminate the access. But worse: they did not send an email before charging the first non-free month. When I saw a €4.99 charge on my credit card, I canceled the trial (that I did not even use). I was disappointed about Apple using such dark patterns.
