I second this. This means you don't have to setup and manage those master nodes. AWS will do this for you. A developer fixing an issue with your self-managed master nodes will be much more expensive than 150$/month.

As an individual this may look expensive, but as a company this is much cheaper than paying the loan of a developer.

I suspect you missed the point earlier: GKE offers a free managed master, even if your cluster is a single node costing you $5/month.

Disclaimer: I work at GCP, but not on GKE.

Yes it is nice for experiments, but if you already invest thousands of dollars a month for cloud resources, an additional 150$ are for sure not a problem.
