Onshape is indeed fantastic for hobbyists and professionals alike.
Their licensing model is reminiscent of early Github days in that you can use all available modeling features free of charge, but must pay for a private repo. Otherwise, all user generated content is publicly available.

The licensing cost has a few more digits than GitHub ever did.

You are not wrong, but they’re much more generous than anyone else in the professional CAD space.
Yeah, it's pretty good but still crazy expensive. Most of the good CAD softwares have remained very expensive.
All the better FreeCAD continues to steadily plow forward..
