I doubt there's any FOMO to it from people using it for professional coding for example, you just want to have access to the best model as long as the value proposition is there. If I spend less time reviewing the work done because it's great in the first pass, that's always a win.
Unless you're an enthusiast and have the hardware to power larger models, $20 a month provides tremendous value.
Most of the people paying for the subscriptions have no idea how much, if any, difference the SOTA model is from non-SOTA. They don't even know if they're actually using the max capacity of their subscription, until they run over it. When they do run over it, was it because they were doing tons of AI work? Or was it because they were using expensive models? None of these people are checking any of these things. They're just afraid if they don't buy the best, they will be missing out. aka, FOMO.
