It doesn't seem odd when you consider the effects of supply and demand. Many players in the app market are willing to price their apps much lower than the price of a cup of coffee. Maybe the way we got here is odd, but maybe not since

Libra isn't completely centralized. There's a long list of other corporations and institutions that will be validators. Facebook won't have 100% or even 10% control.
