Font licensing is annoying even for people in the industry itself – sadly a lot of it has to do with piracy and others who purposefully buy cheaper licences. Though my advice is to just look further, you won't see Monotype change their licensing model any time soon, but foundries like ABC Dinamo have made significant changes (like only taking company size into account, not users or pageviews) that others have started to adopt.
