I am assuming that's on purpose. For them the number of people on project is proportional to the money they can earn. Why would they cannibalize their revenue by allowing shadow profiles.

Edit: re-read your comment. It seems like you clarified or I missed about the five person being the minimum thing for that.

Shadow profiles? Huh?

I simply put tasks in Asana and want to view it on a timeline like a Gantt chart. I can't do that unless I pay 5x10.99/month. There is a huge gap between $0 and $70/month.

What revenue are they cannibalizing if I'm not going to go from $0/month to $70/month when I'm only one person? They just lose me as a customer going forward.

The thing is, they don't care. Companies don't make their money from individual users, they make it from other big companies.
