Just skipped through this. Quite pricey for the specs. Also 9$ for premium os per month seems off for Linux.

As pointed out, Premium is optional and is intended to fund the project.

The PureOS subscription (at any tier) is an optional subscription to help fund PureOS and mobile Linux development. It is not a fee to use the OS. PureOS is still FOSS.
