You can get similar functionality to what Apple is offering through a disposable credit card (privacy.com and alike). Worst case you can take the matter up with your credit card company.

How many times in a year do you cancel something?

If you do this, your account will be sent to collections (because yes, you still have a payment obligation if you do not cancel). Those are people whose job it is to be so unpleasant to you you'd rather pay them and not eat, so this is terrible advice.
I had a situation where New Yorker was able to charge me, after I used one-time credit card (and thus invalid) that was issued by Revolut.

The explanation was like this that, it was an “offline“ charge, which they let thru.

Can't companies ban such cards? I think there are some BIN code etc… that can be used to identify them.
