Hidden cost - Woo Core Offering HPOS
According to Woo documentation: "From WooCommerce 8.2, released in October 2023, High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) is officially stable and enabled by default for !!!NEW!!! installations." It's surprising that MWB has decided to release an add-on for HPOS compatibility at an additional cost of $200/year, rather than incorporating it into their standard plugin. This feature should be a part of the default offering, especially considering the growing importance of WooCommerce within the ecommerce ecosystem. Currently, WooCommerce powers around 40% of all online stores, and it plays a major role in enabling businesses worldwide. Forcing users to pay extra for a fundamental update like HPOS compatibility undermines the trust of the community and creates unnecessary friction.
