The pricing isn't really the issue.
The value proposition is.
The value proposition with the Paizo offering is gigantic - it's permanent, owned, no-one-can-take-it-away access to stuff.
The value proposition with the WotC offering is much worse - it's temporary access to the VTT and presumably to the books for it, together some total rubbish like some free mini "drops" and so on.
Worse for you. Not for me.
Just because something is not for you doesn’t make it worse.
Do I get a vtt with my Paizo sub? No? Then it is if no value to me.
