It doesn't cost SpaceX $2500/mo

SpaceX is not providing hardware for free (like your F35's from Lockheed analogy). More akin to Lockheed saying they can use some software package Lockheed usually charges $1000/mo for at no charge, with that software package use creating some relatively small additional costs to Lockheed in terms of bandwidth.
