I can assure you existing customers(non business) do still use a disproportionate amount of support. Things like feature requests, lost passwords, new user on boarding, any time anything doesn’t work as the user expects, etc
As for the finances here sure it gives up some income but will also free up a lot of time for someone who is currently doing support so they could focus on other things
I disagree, they could reply with automated canned responses if don’t have resources for support
“Suggest new feature” => “thanks we will consider” => trash it
“Help I’m locked out” => “use this self reset tool or cancel your account”
“I need to add a new user” => “sure, read the documentation”
There are many other paid services without any kind of support in the entry level plan, could have done that. For example the $24/year plan for photoprism doesn’t come with support

Surely, password stuff is automated no?
