The email telling you to resub is a joke.

Is this new? Is everyone getting them?

I've only ever gotten very dry, plain-text notifications from Mog Station about upcoming or failed renewals. Maybe it's different if you're paying in a more one-off method?

In any case, why be so offended by what is basically a generic advertisement encouraging you to buy a product? It's not like they're tailoring it for you. Literally, don't read too deeply into it.

Because they're literally lying. Longer term subscriptions do not offer additional savings and do not unlock exclusive in-game veteran rewards more quickly because we don't have them any more.

Edit : This email is because I unsubbed manually. This isn't a recurring notification.
