It is not a premium service, it simply is buying you more tokens. Those $200 gives you at least $400 in API cost tokens.
Don't confused price with "premium service". It was not that long ago that folks would be spending $100-200 on their cable service bundle. You are buying a subsidized product when using the plan and the more you spend the more tokens you get, has nothing to do with being a premium service.

The cheap plans are usually semi-unlimited the same way but not as powerful. This isn't simply a matter of buying more tokens.

Compared to OTA that's premium, but more relevantly if most cable buyers are getting a hypothetical $10 bundle then the $100 one is a premium bundle.
Sorry still not sure what you’re going on about . The majority of LLM plans are simply a token purchase. The $200 account buys you nothing but tokens. It’s not a premium service, it’s simply more tokens. This is true for most of the companies out there.
The original comment was they are paying for a premium service. No they are paying for more tokens. You lot going on and on arguing over some small hill.
The lower tier openai and google plans don't have access to the same models. Where are you seeing popular plans that are simply token purchases?
