Seems like a pretty clever way to filter out cheapskate customers. I don't think most large organizations would care about that kind of rate

It's less a filter but more of a tack on. What I mean is that if you're already on Fastly and find their features compelling, $100 for a certificate is nothing and generates huge margins for Fastly. It's a bit like the BMW/German car model: their base price is not too bad but if you want even the most basic features the mark ups are insane.
