Cursor may be losing money only on $200 sub people who do over $200 of usage (it grants $400)
Everyone else pays them at API prices

$5 = $5
but $5 that I amortize over 7 years might end up being $1.7 maybe if I don't rapidly combust (supply chain risk)

No, to use $5k in Cursor you have to pay $5k.

I wonder how they are defining a power user. How many tokens, what could be the size the code base?

Yes, you could turn it around to say that using Anthropic models in Cursor, Copilot, Junie, etc. is 'subsidising' Claude Code users.
