Sometimes it's not laziness. These companies will make it a game to cancel. Hiding the unsubscribe button or requiring you to call. I recently signed up for Amazon Prime mostly to get rid of the nag screen when I checked out. Finding the unsubscribe button took longer than it should have. Then it was three screens, with each one asking me if I'm sure or if I wanted to "pause".

Fucking dark patterns.
