What commenters are saying
Commenters largely see cost-cutting and data governance, not inferiority, as the motive. One notes Microsoft's limit is still $10k/employee/month, and Meta's $1.4B/year spend on Claude is small if it generates 10x revenue. A camp argues employees should pay for AI tools, but most reject that, comparing to employer-provided laptops and IDEs. Others discuss token-maxxing inefficiency, with one dev spending $2k/month on Opus with poor output. Skeptics doubt rivals can catch up; some prefer Opus 5.5 for trust.
