What? You don't think businesses do financial planning and calculations for profit margins?

Do you really think they go on vibes - "welp, this AI thing seems to improve developer performance, I guess. Heck, what's an extra 5k per developer anyways, amirite".

Well, maybe they really do in your neck of the woods. Explains a lot, I guess.

Yes most companies do in fact operate like this. There are tens of thousands of companies that will pay more for the best thing and call it at that, because the cost is dwarfed by what even marginal gains in quality unlock for the business.

That is just, like, your opinion, man.

Also, I doubt these kinds of companies have "quality" of anything, never mind "gains in quality".
