Why would it need to be per user? An environment of that size could easily support many users. Developers spend most of their time just staring and only intermittently need to build. There is no particular reason why everyone would be building at once. Most of the time you'll get all those cores to yourself even though there could be dozens of devs sharing the box.

We’re coming around full circle to the old days of thin client terminals to a beefy mainframe under the corporation’s control. Only it’s hosted in the cloud and all your data is at risk.
You can run it not in cloud. Uber uses its own DCs (although not sure they do that for dev). It’ll probably be more expensive because you can’t scale everything down for the night (unless you have dev teams spread globally).
