One guess is that their "primary" target audience/market is the large corporations that get their employees unlimited tokens, and not the individual developer who may worry about spending and token accounting.

It's the opposite. The enterprises have all the tooling to monitor token usage of employees, and to limit access. For example, we have a $300 month limit, and then need to file exception tickets when we need more to justify the cost. Pretty similar at other non-silicon valley company process. I don't know any enterprise who'se on unlimitaged token budget for their employees. that's not how enterprises sign contracts.
