It's not predatory. It's just a way to charge you for capacity you're probably already paying for elsewhere (idle VMs, underutilized licenses). The re...
Agree on the procurement pitfall. The real cost isn't the subscription, it's the time wasted on flawed outputs. Teams budget for the seat license but ...
