1GB is 90 minutes of SD Video Streaming, or a 45 minute Zoom call, or up to 3GB/hour for webex. It's nice that you do so little online that Google Fi works for you, but for anyone with real bandwidth requirements, $10/GB is going to add up fast.
Fi is unlimited for $70/month, and in Costa Rica that is actual 5G output, very good bandwidth.
I don't think most people live in an webinar, or stream HD video for more than a few hours a day.
But for power users, $70 for 22 GB of monthly 5G data or on the cheap end, $10/1GB is going to take care of a large segment of the population.
22GB doesn't come close to power user territory. 22GB of data for someone using Zoom or Webex for meetings is one hour long video meeting per working day each month. With other data usage that'll go fast. People that work remotely by hot spotting on their phone for their data could easily chew through 22GB in little more than a few days, a week at most.
10/1GB is only good for anyone IF you have access to wifi almost everywhere you go.
I think you're underestimating how much data usage has changed in the last 12 months. In the first 6 months of the lockdowns, US data usage went up 47%.
