Postman has over 600 employees and has raised several hundred million dollars in venture captial. The reason Postman is this expensive isn't because it's very expensive to develop and maintain, it's because you're paying off the VCs.

If they took a reasonable investment and kept a reasonably sized team, they wouldn't have to charge for a curl GUI what Adobe charges for their entire suite of industry-leading creative tools.

I think VC money and expectations it brings has destroyed so much. To me Postman sounds like product that should be reasonably run with team at most in low dozens. And that includes all roles including customer support. 600 people sounds like world has just gone wrong.
