If you have subscribed with a credit card, and forgot about the subscription (but generally fine with it), the service would still receive weekly payments.
In case of bitcoin, if you have forgot (that would be the case for 80% of us), the payments are stopped.
But I completely agree that it's possible to implement subscriptions (read: automatic payments) on top of the existing Bitcoin infrastructure.
