This is either misunderstanding it or interpreting in bad faith. The very next sentence explains why this is a bad thing. They aren't escaping vendor lock in, they're being moved to something worse.
Didn’t I affirm the author’s point that the increased vendor lock-in for creators was a big deal, implicitly agreeing that it was bad?
By “Apple’s user-friendly subscription and cancellation policies”, I mean e.g. the ability to unsubscribe without having to fight through the usual dark patterns. Having to offer that shouldn’t be onerous, although sadly some publishers see it that way.
I can accept that I may not have communicated my point as well as I might have, but “bad faith”, wtf?
