I think it is crazy to price software that way. Do you also price airline tickets, car purchase etc that way?

  The primary input of software is labour - i.e. time spent working. We stand on mountains of open source work that makes the job much faster and cheaper. This labour cost is certainly also factored into costs in many other industries. The difference with software is that, largely speaking, the TCO goes way down if you only consider the software (and infrastructure) itself. Cloud infrastructure costs can get pricey but salaries will always be more expensive. So it makes sense to view things this way in software land when selling your time - and thus also how you view purchases that affect how you spend your time.

    Sorry but you just made up some stuff which does not make much sense.
