Yeah but if you push the price up, given that many users will cancel their subscriptions you will end up with still a tiny market segment relative to what is necessary, in revenues, to justify the valuations purported.

It's a tricky one, there is also a lot of push right now to use AI so developers are incentivized to drop money on subscriptions. I'd have difficulty justifying 1k/month for smaller shops - but corporations will be different. If the average engineer is just 20% more productive, then that is a 30-60k value to the company.
I don't have difficulty getting to a 20% productivity gain with AI just from automating the tasks I procrastinate on or can't focus on. Likewise the ability to code a prototype overnight/over the weekend is a reasonable extension of practical working hours.
The challenge I do see is that fully AI generated code bases devolve into slop pretty fast. The productivity cutoffs are much lower compared to human engineers.
