This is Apple's work - they show all enabled purchases/subscriptions author have enabled for price testing. And once you add one, removing it would mean the user's subscriptions auto-renew would get canceled, so they stay and accumulate.
And there is no way for the app to mark "this is the current pricing".
Does that mean if I subscribed for 22.99€ it would stay that way year after year?
What could be the reason that Apple designed it this way? The only reason I can think of is customer protection (say 1€ a month changes to 100€ a month and you user does not pay attention).
Your question implies someone "designs" things and given the state of the apple app store I'm not sure any form of conscious life is in charge of it
Generally it means that yes, the price will stay as-is. When the developer increases the price (versus introducing a different payment tier), they have two options: either keep all existing subscribers at the current price, or offer them to agree with the price bump (users can decline though). Reducing the price affects all existing users automatically.
