Seems to be targeted at quickly reducing infa cost for small-human teams with high-compute costs. I can see some value, but it's something I'd want to review quarterly instead of per-commit. I might feel different if I was really trying to stretch some runway.

I can see why YC is interested in this issue, as I'm sure lots of startups are trying to stretch that runway.

When we started, we thought everyone could use it from startups to medium sized companies. What we learnt is that the most value comes for the enterprises. The reason is they have used Terraform to decentralize the infra provisioning, so now instead of a central platform team making all the IaC changes, you have hundreds or thousands of engineers making changes every month.

Each of them are making a lot of decisions on the infra. and that combines with the crazy pricing models from the cloud providers was saving companies a lot of money.

Then, we saw how much time is saved when you catch it at this point vs after the fact. Basically avoiding a bunch of tech debt

If you're primarily serving enterprise then the $250/mo foot in the door price makes sense. No reason to make too aggressive of a play for the small market/mid market.
