Could also be to disuade people from (ab)using it instead of proper metrics. Pretty sure SumoLogic lets you run queries on a cron and use the results for alarming (IMO not a great idea, seen it go wrong). And if there's an API, people will automate it and use it for god knows what. So charging for it seems like a smart enough move, iff the price is sane/competitive.
