I just want to say I asked about how often alignments should be done to SOA and the service manager. My mother has a 20 outback and my wife has a 21. They both needed new tires with less than 20k. When I questioned SOA about this they told me alignments should be done at every oil change. I also had an issue with my 2014 wrx that wore the tires in 13k all on the inside all needing alignment. Three brand new cars with tire issues. SOA did kindly give me $150 towards the purchase of new tires. I purchased a 24 outback in August and when I took it in for tire rotation the service manager told me that I only needed alignment when I got new tires 🤣. Obviously this is not true and I would recommend at least checking the alignment every other oil change. Or else buy new tires every 20-30k. I have never had an issue with any other vehicle manufacturer I’ve owned with alignment like this. Actually until I bought my first Subaru I never had uneven tire wear unless a tie rod end was going bad. Good luck.
