There's a generally accepted level of accessibility which is known as RAND or resonable and non-discriminatory which tech-industries wide is expected for certain types of documentation/specification. Historically "reasonable" was understood to mean that corporate entities could reasonably afford it, and the pricing would be at values like 10 or 50 thousand dollars US.
These values are clearly not "reasonable" for individual contributors. And moreover in the modern era it is very questionable what that high fee is for, since the costs for information dissemination are so low.
As a result, there has been some beginning of adjustment for what is a reasonable pricing to fit into the RAND style labelling. It's happening slowly, but it does seem to be occurring.
