Cadence and Ansys have entered the chat. A bunch of other highly-specialized engineering software has entered the chat. Licenses are on the order of 10-100k/seat.
For a pretty funny comment about pricing.

I guess we are welcoming the software people to the world of expensive tools. Just sad that the FOSS alternatives of these tools are not as powerful whereas software industry still has FOSS tools to fall back on.
