This way they only paid the parsing tax (decoding doubles, etc..) if the user used that data.

My hypothesis would be that cycle is going to be very heavily accelerated due to the current economy. Many companies aren't operating from a position of strength, but more of desperation. Some tiny few will do well. Many announcing their "AI thing" suddenly becoming AI companies overnight will probably crash and burn.
I could be wrong though.
That's when I started looking seriously for a new job, and had left the company within a month, a few months later they went out of business after they had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back licensing fees since the vendor had evidence that their software product had been used beyond the single production instance.
I think if they'd been upfront about the usage, the company would have negotiated a fair license fee going forward without pushing for past usage to be paid too.
