Yes it's inevitable. BOLT12 fixes this with subscriptions.

Bolt12 fixes absolutely everything
in perpetuity
I started to draft this. Very raw, however I think subscriptions can be embedded into apps - and be visible, transparent, show upcoming, etc. bolt12 May help make it better too, but I’d still rather manual push payments anyway.

Of course manual is better but as Gigi said it's very easy to get used to hitting zap and get scammed. With a subscription you only need to be careful once.
