It’s crazy that it was ever set up this way in this context.

The direct to end user flat rates make more sense. With their usage windows, and stuff like that. But even those will change someday, too, I bet. But I think this nuance is lost right now in all the joy and schadenfreude sourced from Microsoft fucking this up so badly.
