Web API Limitations

I have some questions on the changes to the Web API Extended Access. I am noticing that development mode is now limited to 5 users, and in order to qualify for the extended quota, your app needs to have 250k MAU. How do they honestly expect applications to scale to 250k MAU if the development mode limits to 5 users?

I do have some apps setup in my dashboard from ~2018 so they should be exempt from these new limitations, but I guess I never requested they be promoted from development mode so they weren't grandfathered in.

I know Apple requires paid access to their tokens but don't have these restrictions, does anyone know if Spotify will offer a similar paid version without these extremely throttled access? Thanks in advance!
