The iTunes and App Stores generally require a verified payment method on file to make use of the store services including downloading free apps and updating apps.
There's a few reasons why it would require a verified payment method if it had not before.
Either way, you will now need to add a verifiable payment method. Once its verified, it can be removed.
Not about the subscriptions requirement, however, as I have an Apple TV+ active subscription, but have no credit card on file at all.
Do you have any subscriptions? Anything like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, or any third party subscriptions will require that a credit card is on file. Also, if you are the organizer of a Family Share group then you also need a credit card on file.
