Electricity and water. Those actually have a real cost to provide, unlike software

Most software with a subscription has some kind of backend resource that is being consumed, even if that's not obvious to the user. The software companies are getting rich too of course, so yeah it should cost less.

Not universally. I live in Alabama and the privately owned power company is very corrupt. We have some of the highest power bills in the US, with the biggest difference being not cost but profit margins. Water in my county is fairly priced IMO, but I've heard other counties aren't so lucky.
