The price is quite insane, and a subscription is not really a good fit for something you do not that often. Making posters is not a core activity for scientists, and while Powerpoint is really not a good tool it actually works well enough for the purpose.

Edit: Looking closer the title is deceiving, making posters seems like a new feature, but not the core purpose. Making figures seems to be the main purpose of this product, and that is a lot closer to a core activity for scientists than posters are. Still very expensive, but I could see a lab buying a license or two, mostly for the large library of icons/components.
