every sufficiently large tech company has a thing where you can give them ~$10/mo and it's almost never clear why anyone would want to

@morganastra partial explanation: sometimes people working in corporate environments aren't allowed to use free things. Having a paid option lets them keep using the thing.
Capitalism is often kinda dumb.
