I activated and downloaded an Adobe font accessed through my subscription. When I packaged my InDesign files to send to the printer, the font wasn't included. Fortunately, I had only used the font in a single headline and was able to change it to outlines. What good does it do to be offered the use of fonts if they can't be transferred to an outside printer? My printer expects native files, not a PDF that would embed the font. Am I missing something?

You're missing plenty. For starters, as Willi already pointed out, anyone with a valid subscription would be able to automatically activate that font. Secondly, I would never use a printer that didn't want a PDF. Sending a live file is a recipe for disaster.
