And obviously they need to know what kind of targeted ads to show you once you decide to stop paying, so the tracking will continue irregardless of any ongoing payment.

Probably there is more: It is also useful to show ads to non-paying friends, valuable to sell to data brokers, and made available to 3-letter agencies.
