"these tools put an outsized strain on our systems"

AKA when you fully use the capacity you paid for, that's too much!

You don't pay for capacity, you pay for an interface. Paying for capacity is what API keys are for.

Similarly, on a home internet connection you might pay for a given size of pipe, but most residential ISPs don't allow running publicly accessible servers on your connection because you'll typically use way more of the bandwidth.

I’m not sure why people expect Anthropic to subsidize tokens through Open Claw when it’s specifically forbidden in the ToS.

Meh this argument does not hold up. If you don’t like it pay for the API. We all know these services are priced for human use, as in your not using it 24/7.
