"insanely high prices. like $999 per year per license and above"

That's not insanely high - that's pretty common for B2B SaaS apps.

The most I've been quoted for SaaS was more like $100K per user per year...

Depends on what "per license" means. It's a license-managing software, that can have multiple project licenses, and... It gets confusing which license a "license" refers to.

All in all, it's not unusual to pay 10k, 30k or even 100k USD a year for a core technology like that. For example, self-hosted JIRA costs 8.3k USD per year (if you want updates) for 100+ users, and you usually have several services just from Atlassian in this price range.
