Are there large armies of people who make >$100k/year but <$1M? Yes.

200 dollars is not a big emergency expense for someone who makes more than $100k per year.

Depending on your definition of emergency, it is when you live in NYC and your rent costs $2k/month. If by emergency you mean "hurricane" - sure. But surge pricing happens every time there's a rainstorm.
