Outposts might be priced higher to reduce demand. Allowing them time to iron out the kinks.

It’s a common pattern where you aren’t yet ready to scale up to handle the demand at a lower price point.

I think they are also trying to balance not losing money since there's no egress charges for data coming out of the Outpost and into the customer's data center. I imagine for some use cases, that cannibalizes some revenue.
