That's for the Enterprise edition, which is very rarely needed outside of very large projects that will normally have a budget for it.

Even with a Pro it's also not just VS itself, but a bunch of other MS products. The exact list depends on how you arrive at getting a subscription, but if you are to take the BizSpark (?) route, it will get you Windows, Windows Server, Office licenses and a handful of Azure credits.

You have to look at VS feature matrix (for free vs paid editions) as well to compare it properly.
