I pay >$30/mo for streaming services, and I arguably use my browser for an order of magnitude more time per day than I do for Netflix/Amazon Prime/Disney+/etc. Folks pay much more for Adobe products, which arguably are mostly desktop-only apps. If you're offloading the work of your browser to a VM/VMs in the cloud, and you derive meaningful benefit from it, I don't think the cost here is absurd. If you're comparing the cost of the browser today ($0) to the cost of this service, yes, it's steep. But if you consider the benefit you draw (lower memory use, avoid load times for pages "waking up", etc.) you're probably saving a lot of time and hassle.
