So, it's zero cost from the program performance standpoint. User MUST pay something to have it.

It's not zero-cost from user standpoint.

How is the user paying for this? Generally the cost ends up being longer compiles and more development time.

The user is the programmer in this context, the user of the programming language, not the end user of the program.
