I know you’ve acknowledged the numbers in your response are off, but nevertheless there’s a seemingly problematic assumption underlying this statement even if your numbers held true: there’s no reason that Facebook should only ask users to cover the opportunity cost difference between having ads and not having ads.
Although the “appropriateness” of the fee may be called into question, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Facebook will successfully argue that with operating costs of around 6 billion per month, and around 3 billion MAU (i.e. around 2 USD/user), with good SaaS margins expected to be around 80%, a charge of around 10 USD per month is not “inappropriate”, which is almost exactly what they’re charging.
