> A $5 latte every workday comes to (260 * 5) $1300 annually.

I spend ~€10 on food per day. Paying $5 for a coffee _every day_ sounds like a lavish luxury. Fun fact: global median income is only ~$2500.

> Obsidian sync is $96. Why would you not pay this amount for a tool you use everyday?

If I paid $96 for my notes to sync, I'd still need to set up some synchronisation mechanism for other files (e.g.: photos, documents, music, etc).

I.e.: I would still need something like Syncthing. If I'm going through the effort of setting up Syncthing, including notes notes for it is trivial.
