Customer support is expensive, as a proportion of fees. That said, I'd be happy to pay per support ticket (not prompted by a fault).

Running a serious business on a platform w/o support is not an option. Even the great Google demands the "customer support" it needs - from government, states etc. Amazon competes directly on support: their new plans suggest scheduled "office hours".
