Startups and open source projects get screwed because of Google's lack of nuance on this issue. Google could have created a tiered fee structure based on number of users, threat vector, etc. but didn't for whatever reason.

Goal #1: Don't let the users "get screwed."

Goal #2: Don't have a solution that requires an army of people to manage.

If no one's willing to help fund your idea, you're out of luck. That seems... really understandable, given that every major government is literally investing millions trying to hack into Google's user data.
