>You know how much a cup of coffee costs, a laptop, a car, a house. Chatbots and web-pages have their market price as well.

You are thinking that people charge some amount derived from their costs. But it's more like people charge as much as they can (as the market allows) and the actual costs are only important as a lower bound - there is no higher bound.

I'm not thinking that, I don't know where you got that impression.

It seemed like you were enumerating things that would be considered a cost, as if to imply something like "my costs are so and so because I need to afford X and Y, and my rate is based on my costs". Now that I'm reading it again, I guess it's indeed not the most obvious interpretation.
