I would hate to have to rely on society to provide services like that. Chances are nobody except the top political brass ever gets their bio-heart.

Thankfully, society in its majestic equality allows all people to establish or invest into startups. Total addressable market at $1M/month is much smaller than at $1k/month, which is still much smaller than at $100/month.

Assuming the expenses are low enough to still give the company a healthy and IMHO fair 20-50% profit margin at $1k/month or $100/month, it'd be dumb to price it at $1M/month. There would be thousands if not millions of companies offering this service - and a race to the bottom of the pricing.

Think about cars - companies are competing on lower prices and better features of these complex machines. There are many models for different kinds of buyers - not just a single option at $1M/month that'd allow the rich to move around.
