Wonna bet?
They‘ve stated clearly that you pay the same. Its just calculating stuff differently that you can now remove a dedicated machine mid-month and get the remaining time‘s money back. Which wasnt the case until now.
Why would they do that and lose money? Apparently, they plan to charge more and push you to cloud services, which are more lucrative.
They have been using this business model for years for their VPS products and Hetzner has slowly been moving to unify their products because it's such a disjointed mess right now.

Like, it's completely unreasonable to expect to pay more.

They are doing it to stay competitive. Remember, cloud computing is a highly competitive market and customers can and do switch providers.
This is actually revenue-loss for them as canceling a dedicated server in the middle of the month will no longer result in a full month charge...
Exactly.
Sure, I could bet $1000.
Bet accepted, term: 1 year.
