From $960 + $399/year. I think it's quite an accomplishment to survive in the modern world of free software development tools.

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't just made a hobbyist tier. Especially when FreePascal allows you to make UIs with Lazarus for free.
So should be perfectly enough for hobbyist.
Delphi is still the absolute fastest way to create win32 gui applications, and anybody who disagrees has never used it. Lazarus is a pretty sweet solution on Linux (or Codetyphoon, if you want more out of the box components).
Is it? What about Autohotkey, or Visual Studio?

They have free community edition. Main restriction seems to be: "If you're an individual, you may use Delphi CE to create apps for your own use and apps that you can sell until your revenue reaches US$5,000 per year." So should be perfectly enough for hobbyist.

What's the relationship between Delphi and Lazarus?
Lazarus is free with no artificial limitations, for FreePascal: https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Two very different solutions. Autohotkey is a scripting language for specific tasks, while Delphi is unbounded in this sense. And Visual Studio has no RAD concept.

Quite a few years ago I worked at a company using Delphi, and judging by their homepage they are still using it. A company making industrial machinery, with a tiny internal software department for the software for provisioning and maintaining the machines, as well as the control room software. Usability and development velocity is more important than looking hip, and easy access to hardware interfaces is paramount. And compared to developer salaries those license costs really aren't that bad
