But the software runs on the computers of all of their users. How much money do their users' computers cost? If you have just 10k users, probably $10M or so? But software companies don't pay for my computer's resources. The money I need to spend on computer hardware isn't priced in to your calculus at all. They don't care.
I find it pretty frustrating and sad.
