There are already well-understood reasons for not being rude to customers.

I worked in the e-commerce industry for decades prior to retiring and have never agreed that we needed to be rude to people before they were our customers. If I had walked into a retailer's store and was told learning the price of goods was dependent upon my filling in that same form I'd walk out after firing a finely formed imprecation as a Parthian shot.

Both had forms to fill in that asked for information they have no need to know. If I need to know I could make a phone call and have an answer in minutes.I visited the site, tried to check the price and also visited the download page.

I don't know what it costs because I didn't ask.
