You’ll grow dependent on a technology that might not be sustainable to run on the long term, or will increase in price.
Once the product seizes to be affordable, you’d need to switch away and relearn how you did certain things.
A similar thing happened with me using Adobe products at a student discount, only to realize its hefty $60 per month price tag was not something I was willing to spend.
And if the gained productivity is only marginal at best, it’s better to not grow dependent on these technologies.
