Yes.

Most customers of AdaCore are willing and able to pay that much, and
more in the case of embedded or large-scale development: otherwise
they wouldn't be customers, would they?  :)

But if by "most people" you mean small or medium-sized businesses, I
agree that the price is too expensive for them.  AdaCore does not try
to address that market; this is their strategic decision.

Then ask AdaCore's competitors.  That's what competition is for, isn't
it?

RR Software and Aonix would probably both be in your ballpark.  I
don't know SofCheck's prices.
