$150/hour is pretty cheap for a lawyer these days. But even still, a lawyer has a bachelors and a law degree, while this gets 20 minutes talking to someone with a PhD--and in this case, someone with a lot of experience both doing physics and communicating it. The lawyerly equivalent to Sabine Hossenfelder would a partner at a major law firm, whose hourly rate is likely around $1,000. Even if she's now farming it out postgraduates in physics, it still seems like a fair price to me.
