There is a large difference between 10 USD and 10 AUD, about 50%

True but that only applies to one of the users. The other two got their original price, unaltered.

1. In many countries the lifetime guaranteed price from 2014 was lower than 2020 price of YT Music. E.G. in most of Europe.
2. Did you have the original grandfather plan of Google Music?
3. Besides, YTM does not have guarantee of lifetime price.

1. Though people are being asked to purchase YT Music, they're being given their original, grandfathered price. They're not being asked to pay more (aside from the person who moved from AUD -> USD).
3. The modern public terms don't seem relevant here. YTM also doesn't have a $7.99/month plan, yet that's what's being offered to you. Is there any compelling evidence that accepting Google's purchase links means surrendering your lifetime price guarantee?
This isn't the case. From the link:
- "So I've managed to rectify the issue and they've renewed my Google Play/YouTube Premium subscription for 9.99USD a month (slight increase from the 9.99AUD I was paying, but hey, still a discount)."
- "I got my subscription reactivated through chat this morning at my original rate."
- "I had no choice but to use the link to get YouTube Premium subscription at my original price 7.99."
