The actual public outage is driven by fear of what happens to the economy if all work is automated

What is the purpose of the account and subscription if this is all client side?

It is nice to see a site preaching this that isn't hosted by Cloudflare or GitHub Pages

Pay in full customers can be profitable through interchange fees alone, so I don't really follow how it is a wealth transfer
