Just because you have a fast internet connection does not mean that all your client devices have a lot of RAM or a GPU. Even if they do, pushing computation to the cloud could mean improved battery life when you are on the go.

How much lithium battery degradation is due to some mobile tab going rogue?
for the moment, I would consider the concept and not so much the price. What they charge is likely not a lower bound on their internal cost structure. The product came out of beta today, so their pricing seeks to first attract those users with a high need and to test their pricing capacity. Better to try to charge too much and then go lower than to take too little.
Given that their engineering expenses are a fixed cost and the majority of their spending, they'll be able to lower prices as they scale.
