No.

We need a law/regulation that simply states that it should be equally as easy to cancel as it was to subscribe, with a penalty of $150,000.00 per user per day for failure to make the cancel flow as easy as the subscribe flow.

Suddenly, before that law/reg went into effect, all cancel flows would be just as easy as the subscribe flows.

Related, thanks to Ethan for mentioning this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41644315

Also related TrueBill, Rocket Money (thanks to Ron for mentioning these 2), and DoNotPay, but they don't quite solve this. Maybe one of them will in the future.
