At my old day job, my boss literally instructed me to pay $200 rather than rand(10..40) because otherwise he would have been committing to a minute of work every month updating an ERP entry. Plus, not his money, but certainly his minute...
That's also a big argument in favor of formulating seat-based pricing models as blocks as opposed to per seat. It reduces the update frequency.
In that case, totally agree with you. If, however, it was his own money, I am sure it would be a different story.
