I'm sure a big part of the cost is the additional infrastructure and manpower to implement all of China's censorship, tracking, etc.
I picked up Kagi the day they released their $10/mo plan and I don't see myself dropping it unless their quality degrades or price increases substantially.

One of my biggest complaints for Spotify is the removal of star ratings, but that's been probably a decade ago at this point. Apple Music has it for the desktop app, but it's missing from mobile.
