Why is there a need to change it to 10 board members?

[swunlight]

There are so many groups throughout various platforms including the business, gaming, and sports industry which use and need many members throughout the trello board. Costing 1k+ dollars will eliminate them for having a possibility of using trello. Many trello members will stop using trello. What is the need of this..?

I understand this point but Trello is already a very generous value proposition and I know that the free offering for Trello is significantly more generous than any out there, even after this change.

I will be publishing a comparison soon.

You should still be able to structure your Trello workspace to keep costs well below 1K+, utilising the generous single-board guest and Trello tricks...

Lastly, Atlassian is a business and if a product doesn't make money, the product dies so if this change keeps Trello going, I only see it as a positive.
