Part of the backlash against subscription is the lack of transparency. Store pages never mention the cost, so you have no idea until you download, launch the app, subscribe (i.e. volunteer personal data) and then finally face a paywall. And $50 to clean up some random files? No thanks. We used to pay half of that for full software suites, audio editors, etc and a lot of companies had healthy businesses selling perpetual licenses.

In I believe all versions of the App Stores that at least Apple has, if an app uses in-app purchase (so many/most subscriptions), there's a dropdown in the store to see the in-app purchases available and the price localized to your region. Don't disagree with your point, but just an FYI.
