There is always a grift, I'd expect the charge to users to be probably 20-50% higher than the revenue from normal users.

Yes. I think they are padding this to make it feel more punitive. This flips the bird to the regulatory body, and discourages people from switching. Frankly I’m surprised they didn’t make it higher.
