It is not really a new system but the type of features to put behind a paywall is. My car (also from the VW family) has some features which need an extra subscription. But either these are included for the first 3 years, which aims the whole system at second hand buyers, or include features that are not really needed. To be fair we already payed for overpriced features in the past. It was mainly assumed that they will go together with special hardware. But most of the time that wasn‘t actually the truth. „Get the media+ package for Apple car play and sat navigation“ etc. they just try to move some of these packages from the configuration within an AppStore. I still don‘t look forward to a system with monthly/yearly subscriptions.
