I think the point is the disbelief in the cause and effect relationship as presented. I too find it a little hard to swallow that the reason the price was lowered is because they want everyone to be able to benefit from cloud computing advantages.

More likely in my estimation is that the cause and effect are reversed, and they wanted to lower prices (to gain market share, users and an advertising blurb) and that has the nice effect of opening cloud computing up to more people.
