I mean, this essay raises some questions about the "straightforward" claim.

When I hear "creative pricing", I don't think a company is artistic, I think they're scamming me. Similarly, "free" is not "freemium" is not "competitive enterprise pricing". I get what they're saying, and I like pay-for-new-features way better than pay-for-unbroken-functionality.

But when your business model is literally TBD, it's hard to take refuge in having a straightforward offering.

Yeah, I smiled at that one. Weakest part of the article.
