This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It's priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn't suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely.

What are some other services which people don't mind subscribing to?

No, I complain about Google and Apple being proprietary. That alone is a deal breaker for me so I really don't give a shit about them not having file management or whatever other old school feature. And if a sufficiently rigorous security model must take away old school file management in favour of a more restrictive system, so be it, as long as it's open source and publicly auditable.

If you're relying on a proprietary operating system, literally none of that matters because your root of trust is inherently untrustworthy.
