Ironically, this leads me to trust the rest of the reviews on their site. Maybe they're not all fake.

True, but in germany they disallowed rating macOS Catalina. That's a very shady policy - having a rating system for all developers, but excluding your own most prominent and important software from store reviews. Just one of many hilarious Apple moves.
Also, if you cancel any subscription (maybe just to make sure it doesn't accidentally get renewed), you get to keep however many days you have left. Not so with their own free one year Apple TV subscription that came with the latest phones. If you cancel that, there's an alert telling you you'll lose it immediately. Clearly tilting the playing field again and again.
That's only true for free trials.

If you pay for Apple TV+ / Apple Music / Apple News and then cancel, you can keep using it through the end of the period you paid for.
