True, even with tuned indices table scans are pretty frequent and perhaps one would want a slower but cheaper query. It’d be quite stressful to have to worry about query plans executed because they can vary quite a bit across very similar queries and be nudged towards more expensive queries by development teams.

If your application allows somewhat flexible queries this might also create potential Denial of Money attacks, which I personally find scarier than plain old Denial of Service. I mean that's always a risk with this type of pricing, but the particulars of a relational database with a query planner makes this a lot more dangerous.
