Hmm, okay. If that's true then OP is just wrong.

The problem is this argument wasn't clear from your initial comment. You claimed that there were plenty of excellent free options, while they claimed that the market had generally gone to very onerous pricing. Both of those can be true at the same time.

But if most of the market hasn't done that, and they're only looking at the top, then okay they're wrong.
