There is an easy explanation: It's hard to build this feature, there is no pressing demand from upper management, it's easier to get promoted doing other simpler projects. Think about what a real time snapshot means: you need to know how much of all the services are being used, project that in the future and compute the costs.

Really, it is a bit disappointing to see a bunch of engineers in this thread talking like this is some monumental, borderline unsolveavle problem. The solution is pretty easy to figure out, even taking into consideration different needs of different customers. The implementation might not be trivial, and legal liability questions might have to be considered beforehand, but the problem is not that hard.
