You'll be saying this right up until they start charging you to use it.

When microsoft started charging for copilot on github, many of the projected bills were in the 5 figure range. AI use is heavily subsidised, 200 usd a month is still very much free.

No, the exact opposite. AI use is overpriced as fuck from OpenAI and Anthropic. I can run qwen3.8-27b on my PC, that's a model that is better than frontier models (Opus 4.6) from a year ago, and it literally costs me pennies, just electricity to run it - it might as well be free.
