Assuming it's true. I can't speak to how prevalent this is across their whole customer base, as don't work at Anthropic or OpenAI, and if I did, I definitely could not say anything. However there exist people who pay for the $200/month plan who don't use it for coding, because they love the product so much. Some of them aren't rich enough to really be paying for it, and are just bad with money (see Caleb Hammer), others pay for something they deem has value. Consider Equinox gyms are $500/month. It's basically the same equipment as a much cheaper gym. But people pay their much higher price for a reason. "Why" is a whole other topic of conversation, my point is that it would be incorrect to assume people aren't paying for the $200/month plans just because you're too cheap to.
