The mechanical argument: when one agent does the work of 10–50 users, per-seat pricing doesn't soften, it inverts. Vendors selling per human seat for work agents now do autonomously are structurally overvalued. Gartner projects seat-based revenue share falling from 21% to 15% by 2030, with 40%+ of enterprise SaaS spend moving to usage, agent, or outcome-based models. Hybrid pricing already sits at ~41% adoption, and firms using it report ~38% higher revenue growth. If your business model is per-seat, that math is coming for you.
