There's also a free version, and a $79/mo tier. We're also free for open source projects on our higher tiers.
If it's not for you, that's okay! But an increasing number of documentation teams are cross-functional (marketing, sales, engineering, product), and not everyone is comfortable editing content directly in Git and dealing with a release.
Docs are the heart and soul of most devtools, so I think it makes sense a lot of companies want a good product.
Travelling in Japan recently we came across a park where the kids could start fires to roast nuts; play with real hammers, nails and saws; dig holes with proper shovels; climb on all sorts of 'unsafe' structures. Certainly the first time my 2yo had used a hammer and a saw, though she uses secateurs at home and has had a [blunt] knife for quite a while. She loved it and wants to go back.
Solving problems I guess. Have you used painful languages before? Imagine doing that, then discovering one that wasn't getting in your way all the time. It's easier to do things that are difficult in other languages. You can do so much on the BEAM, and you don't have to waste your time with thread pools or other nonsense.

* It is not, despite your own familiarity. Erlang is in worse shape, using rebar3 ofc
* There is no central package management. I want to know what library to include that will do X (or a selection of choices), if it's not in https://github.com/h4cc/awesome-elixir, I basically have to crawl github. (Lua has the same problem).
Past some toy projects, most people abandon these languages for more mature ecosystems.
It's not like I don't ask about this and talk with other developers. 15 years later, the problems are largely the same as they were. It feels like these languages are stuck in echo chambers. shrug
Remember when you could measure pain on a scale from 0-10? Then you had to change the scale to 0-1,000,000. Oh my. I'm so glad that's behind me and so much compassion for those that experience it.
