The global average salary is somewhere in the region of $1500.

There’s lots of people and companies out there with $250 to spend on these subscriptions per seat, but on a global scale (where Google operates), these are pretty niche markets being targeted. That doesn’t align well with the multiple trillions of dollars in increased market cap we’ve seen over the last few years at Google, Nvda, MS etc.

The $250 is just rate limiting at the moment. It isn't a real price; I doubt it is based on cost-recovery or what they think the market can bare.

They need users to make them a mature product, and this rate-limits the number of users while putting a stake in the ground to help understand the "value" they can attribute to the product.
