Interesting but not interesting enough for us to have an opensource vendor lock while the community builds opa.

Might be heavier (haven't seen a comparison so /shrug) but why would i set on one horse while all others are setting on the other?

As a side note: Thats a ton of money for such a tool per node base

We're looking at building OPA support into Polaris as well, given how much the community has invested in it. For all the promise of OPA, we haven't seen it gain much traction outside of large enterprises, for many of the reasons we outline in the article.

Polaris is also 100% free. My guess is you're referring to Insights[0], which is a SaaS that incorporates Polaris, as well as several other open source auditing tools. We do offer per-node discounts for customers with a large number of nodes.
