You could tell them that your dog made you do it, then the ball is on their court to act crazy :D

This exact same thing happens when trying to cancel a subscription. Magellan TV wouldn’t let me continue to cancel my subscription until I selected a reason for the cancellation.
So I exited the process and contacted support with the message “your website will not let me cancel without providing a reason”.
They replied with “you can just select a reason and then it will allow you to continue”
To which I said “and where’s the option to cancel without you holding my account hostage until I do what you demand of me?”
They replied with confirmation that they’ve cancelled my subscription for me.
It seems petty, but no company should be allowed to forcibly extract additional info out of you when you want to cancel. They can ask all they like, but never force.

Here in Sweden you can cancel a subscription however you wish (as long as it’s within reason). You can send a company snail mail, email, go by their office, phone, text, whatever reasonably reaches them. They’re not allowed to pull the “Oh, buy you have to call [number which leads to an antichurn department]” or “please tell us why” (but of course they’re gonna try anyway. If it’s an online form you usually have a “I don’t want to disclose why”-reason).
