Hopefully this does end up happening. One of the reasons I personally don’t mind Apple’s 30% IAP take is because going through Apple guarantees I won’t need to deal with any dark patterns—cancelling is one or two clicks in the settings app, I get email notifications a few days before each billing cycle happens, and if something does go wrong then Apple’s customer support is generally very helpful. 30% is a big price increase, but the peace of mind is wonderful.
I’ve been burned a lot of times in the past by businesses that make it extremely hard to cancel, and cracking down on this kind of behavior seems like a no brainer to me personally.

It's been a while back, but they got sued for in-app purchases and settled with a large payout. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-lawsuit/apple-to-settle-lawsuit-on-inadvertent-app-purchases-by-kids-idUSBRE91P05O20130226 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-lawsuit/apple-to-se...
