I have a 2010 Forester Premium X and did not have the spark plugs changed at 30K service a while ago. Today I was in for an oil change and asked the service mannager the same question. He looked up the spark plugs for my car via the VIN# and found out that my car came with platinum plugs. So they should be changed around 90 - 100K.

Subaru requires a plug change at 30K for NA and 60K for Turbo. They are different engines, SOHC vs DOHC. If you believe that Subaru erred in requiring the NA plug change at 30K, or do not wish to pay for a change at 30K, many like-minded people have left them in longer with no ill effect.
