Imagine a restaurant offering free samples or complimentary dishes to their customers. It helps in product discovery, and indirectly in adoption of other products that they pay for.

Then a person comes in starts gobbling every sample, because they believe "free tiers are meant to be abused".

That’s what happens in practice, even if they don’t believe this.

In practice, they have someone giving out the free samples.

Also, social shame generally applies and people conform to social norms.

Then you kick them out. It's not very hard.

Of course, because having someone eating them all is the natural process; you need to kick the people out to prevent it.
