Most developers in China or India have a monthly salary of 1 K USD. If you expect them to pay way more then 200USD thats like asking US Devs to pay 5K a month. Yeha not gonna happen.

And the funny thing is the estimate pure CAPEX Spend of AI companies needs them to earn about $20B to $40B a month to cover cost of capital alone of their trillion dollars of investments.

That's exactly what is going to happen. India/China prices will be $100-200/month, US prices will be $5000/month. Keep in mind that most of these costs will be covered by the employer. It'll put downward pressure on dev pay, of course.
