It's up to $100K credit, not all startups may use all of their credits. And this is not the cost to Google.
But nitpicking aside, why not have two tiers, one $100k for approved startups, and another with, say, $10k credit and with some support.
Google championed the idea that the road to classification success is a (relatively) simple algorithm paired with a lot of data. This way they could get hundreds, if not thousands of startups to hone their company success estimation algorithms.

If you don't have at least some approval process then people will just take advantage of your free credits by running minecraft servers or mining dogecoins.
