How are they ‘free’ perks if they’re part of the deal you’re paying for? McDonald’s don’t tell you that the burger in the bun is free…

"users who pay get free things". Irony is dead. Capitalism killed it.

This is old news. Must be a slow day in the news cycle. Maybe apple should focus on fixing the bug in icloud storage where it keeps increasing storage by a lot. Its gotten better over time but still needs work. This has been a bug in ios 18. Ive reported it many times on the feedback page.

I don't need more storage, but I DO need hide my email, and happily pay the $0.99 per month. Only a select few critical entities get my real email.

I have no interest in any of those "free features".

What I do have an interest in is some storage choices between 200GB & 2TB

Have to agree with the other comments that it's not really free, just part of the package you're paying for. A better title might be "What an iCloud Subscription Gets You Beyond Storage."
Sad to say, even MacRumors is not immune to clickbait titles.
