Apple One bundles pretty much everything (iCloud, Apple TV, Arcade or Music) into a single subscription where it costs A$24.95 per month (WTF?!). Guess what, the same is only ¥1200 (A$10.60) in Japan and ₹195 (A$2.85) per month in India. I would suspect regional pricing is taken into account, so they perhaps reduced the cost specifically for both markets knowing salaries are less. I swear, the one in Australia is just expensive as F (the only way is to opt out of using Australia as the region by changing it to somewhere "cheaper").

is this satire ?

you're looking at this arse about, companies charge whatever they think the market will bear.

30 years ago people flew to the US, purchased a Adobe siftware and flew home for less than an Adobe Aus charged. There was even a Senate enquiry and Adobe literally said they charge that because people buy it

People buy iphones and into walled garden shit, so wtf anyway.
