Honestly, this is the best thing if it changes the worst experience I've had cancelling something - Gyms. They make it crazy easy to sign up, but a pain in the ass to stop being a member (for example, if you move and forget to cancel good luck - they want you to come in and talk to the manager in a lot of cases)

How did it even evolve into such a mess?

Cannot you just go to random gym, pay for enterance and do ya thing without signing stuff?

Sometimes you can but you better be guaranteed you’ll be exposed to high pressure sales tactics that make it not worth it, similar to how timeshare presentations offer “free” stuff
