Probably. But the difference is the marginal cost of selling an Adobe CS license, Avid Media Composer, or the other costly software I bought at a steep discount is pretty much nothing. When you discount inference you lose money.

Pulling the plug on K-12 on the other hand, seriously, can’t happen fast enough.

True! But Adobe gives cloud compute and some gen AI credits with their edu license. Autodesk does too! They both lose money on that proposition, but clearly not thousands or tens of thousands of dollars per user.
