I was one of the "got game pass, usually forget to use it" subscribers. I ended up canceling when games I was playing were no longer available when I did remember about it so I couldn't finish them anyways, plus the price went up.
Last thing I did was go through their games and add ones that looked interesting to my steam wishlist. And after I cancelled, when one of the games I had been playing went on sale, I realized another thing that I didn't like about it that I hadn't even known: they don't advertise what games use invasive drm or anti-cheat software like steam does.
Though the main driving factor was wanting to divorce myself from as much reliance on MS/Windows as possible.
