What else did you expect to happen?

Honestly, as soon as they announced the new rate limits, it seemed obvious that this would happen: different platforms will implement workarounds.

I'm sure the same would happen if npmjs or pypi started charging for using their package registry.

There's lots of hobby programmer, or simply, companies from economies that can't afford to pay 5USD/month. For example, a friend of mine pays a total of $0.95 a month for his ecommerce needs.
