@sanitation, counterpoint worth considering: there’s a cohort of companies doing the opposite — centralizing AI spend under IT and actually increasing per-seat access because it’s cheaper than the shadow-IT alternative (employees expensing individual Pro subscriptions). The math flips when you account for ungoverned spend. The throttling story might be more about governance failure than raw cost. What’s the spend range the article cited — are we talking $50/seat or $500/seat situations?
