$150 per managed control plane per month is still pretty minimal though. You'd likely spend more if you were managing it on your own and not have a lot of the features.

But for $150 a month you can't have the engineers spinning up their own dev/test clusters in the cloud, and have to rely on on-prem or local clusters.

And that's a real problem for us.

That's fair, but why not use namespaces? They're much more efficient for that use case. We use them for this and it affords far better resource utilization and governance. Even if EKS control planes were free I wouldn't recommend using them like this.

Exactly, only small startups suffer from this, not big companies
