Realistically that isn't that much money unless you want to be some kind of hobbyist HFT tinkerer.
With no stance on whether people should be doing HFT as a hobby, presumably there is a finite amount of colocation space available and an opportunity cost/maintenance associated with onboarding people so this is what the market and regulators decided were the table stakes?
