   I really don’t get this. Apple is trying to sell you 2 or 3 addons that are really beneficial and great products that make sense.

   I don’t need them, I don’t buy them.

   But I really appreciate there being a button at a place that logically makes sense and that gives you the opportunity to make more out of your device.

   AFAIK you can click them away.

   It’s not as if there are intrusive popups or as if they are trying to sell you blackmarket ware.

      I've tried clicking them away and they keep coming back. E.g. my current watch is about to hit a year old and doesn't have Apple Care. I clicked away anything about the Apple Card in Wallet and I just had it sitting right at the top when I was trying to get to my boarding pass last week. I have no idea why it keeps telling me about Apple Fitness or Apple Music each time I purchase a new device, I was aware of it the last 6 times it tried to push those.

      I don't mind a simple "You might be interested in these other services for your device" during initial setup. I do mind post set-up ads I have to click to disable in different places across my devices multiple times over time. It's just trashy.
