   Much of the extra weight of Claude Code and Codex harness are (ostensibly?) for security and alignment purposes. Whether they are effective is an open question, but leaving those dimensions out and calling it a tax is disingenuous, just turning insecurity into a negative externality.

   "Why pay the waste disposal tax? Dumping into the ocean is free!"

   Pi actively omits any sort of guardrails and sandboxing in the name of speed and simplicity, so it is not shocking that it is faster and simpler.

   Doubling the cost of something in the name of vague security is standard operating procedure for big enterprises, maybe even quite cheap.

      Wonder if you have any source to back that data, unless you are referring to the security code to detect the user and their usage itself to prevent against unauthorized usage patterns?
