Google was, capitalistically, trying to milk us/gae so that they can earn money, logical-ish Since GAE is not for everyone, they had to increase the prices to these levels.
But, hopefully, if "compute engine" becomes successful, and steal some of Amazon's fame and fortune, I think Google might no longer feel the need to milk gae and either reduce the prices or increase the capacity. Generally speaking, I don't think Google is developer friendly anymore, Gae is on the edge, If it was a bit more expensive I wouldn't be able to use it and Google Maps has become 10x the logical limit (look at mapbox pricing, they are on the edge, and as far as I remember it was 0.1ish of google maps prices), so my hope is for Google realizing this and pulling prices to developer-affordable limits. Especially Google Maps prices are extreme.
