...Have I missed something, or are you mad at them for rounding 1/.9 = 1.111... to "110%" in an article about estimating revenue? Unless you're able to guess the number of subscribers you'll have with 3 significant figures of precision, that seems entirely appropriate.

It is always fine for a chat server to silently round numbers. There is no context in which I want a payment processor to silently round numbers. (And I'm not wild about a "haha who even knows how taxes work" joke either)

Its exposition, not documentation. Consider the audience.
