My friend, who was trying to raise a startup, didn't get payments for the product (too early), didn't have VC funding (yet), had to close the California presence because of such expenses.

your friend was somehow hiring engineers in California and an $800 expense was the blocker? sure.
No, he didn't hire, but had a registered presence. This fee applies anyway, and for him it was too much to justify.
