For some people an additional $4/month actually is an issue. For you it apparently wouldn't be a problem. I could easily afford it too, but for some people that extra cost really would be a problem.

I am a student, studying full time with no part time job, yet I still manage to afford a $15 monthly subscription to a game, on top of a $4 sub to a VPN.

I am pretty much in the lowest financial bracket you can get in my country without being unemployed or homeless.
It comes down to priorities. If you are willing to spend $15 a month on a monthly subscription game, then an extra $4 a month should literally be a non-issue.

People should buy less coffee from starbucks if $4 per month is an issue.
