There are lots of situations you wouldn’t want your service to be cancelled, so it’s a useful feature is all we’re saying. People acting like it’s malice are hilarious and/or children.
And in those situations I will contact the vendor to give them updated information. I don't find it useful when a free trial I haven't thought about for three years suddenly charges me several hundred dollars.
Nobody ever said malice, but it's a service that flies in the face of the whole concept of an expiration date.
