Two points: 1. It’s common (and I think ethical and prudent) to charge for enterprise management of security features. Microsoft, for example, has had a long running practice that in the box with Windows you get everything you need to manage that one system. If you want to manage many systems, you buy a product that does that. 2. I HAVE seen a dark pattern, particularly in “Freemium” software, where security primitives like encryption and access controls are upsells. If you expect me to store my data in your SaaS platform then I believe you owe it to me to provide baseline security controls. Put another way, it’s not freemium, it’s “not-fit-for-purpose trialware” if basic security controls aren’t provided.
