They are checking that you aren’t breaking _their_ rules, they’re not looking out for you. This is akin to companies telling you their HR/legal department is there to help you. They are not, they are there to protect the company.

The problem is you don’t get a choice whether you think they are ripping you off or not

As a buyer, it’s awesome to be able to use Apple manage the payment process. I am able to cancel recurring services far more easily (I don’t ever want to call someone or mail something), and I trust them to be more secure with my payment info.
