Why would I pay at least 450 euro per month for something I have to run myself? I appreciate that support and maintenance costs are certainly something to pay for, but a high monthly charge when I'm taking all the risk, and paying for the hosting immediately turns me off.
Especially considering the 4 hour SLA on phone support for the enterprise version. If the password management system is down, work stops. I'd rather not have to break the glass on the emergency god account at all.

Some people/teams/departments are busy with other things, so that amount is worth the cost of outsourcing a service such that the team members can focus on other things.
Also:
* why would anyone run RHEL when they can run CentOS? (The cost of a service being down is more than the support fee.)
* why would I go to a restaurant when I can cook a meal at home for much less?
* why would I pay for a car wash when a garden house and a sponge worth just as well?
Also also, you may want to actually check what the pricing is:
