Goals have changed, and therefore prices have changed. App Engine is an Enterprise product now and price has no relation to cost. You've already explained that Google could and should have known that it was undercharging, if it was, in less than 3 years. So, maybe they weren't? Goals have changed. Personally, I think the goal of selling to the Enterprise at the expense of the wider web is bad goal. After all, Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, and this is not well served by cutting off access to the world's most cost effective and scalable serving infrastructure to a large fraction of the people who can best make use of it.
