You know I can just lookup the costs per seat right? It's not that much and not everyone is a heavy user at an org. And for code the costs are falling per compute cycle.

First, the key phrase here is "end game." Whatever you're looking at now isn't where prices will be in short order.

Second, it seems a hard to believe that hundreds of billions of dollars would be spent and untold numbers of data centers would be built just to gain a measly couple hundred dollars per seat.

But it's a lot of seats. If you get 1 billion people to pay $20/month, that's $20 billion. Multiply that by 10 years and you have $200 billion.
