Not the GP (in fact I just replied to GP, disagreeing with them), but I think that economies of scale kick in when you are provisioning M GPUs for N users and both M and N are large.
When you are provisioning for N=1 (a single user), then M=1 is the minimum you need, which makes it very expensive per user. When N=5 and M is still 1, then the cost per user is roughly a fifth of the original single-user cost.
