Free markets are pretty efficient, and pricing anamolies have a tough time persisting. DHH and crew are not perpetrating a crime on society with this price. They are not withholding a public good which cannot be obtained from anyone but them. They built something, and want to try and sell it for a price they set to customers they hope to win. Welcome to capitalism.
The point is - and this is especially true with software these days - there's always an option priced above free which causes someone to say "really?" But if you derive value from it, then you will pay. If not, you won't.
There's likely better ways to spend our IQ units than hating on the price of an app.
