They do seem to be the outlier for the really expensive BPCs at the moment. We haven't actually had a request for a UKRI funded one yet but I'm waiting for it...

My cynical take on it is they have absolutely no interest in OA books succeeding b/c they are v. effectively monetising ebooks. If authors/funders/libraries are willing to pay these eyewatering BPCs of course they won't say no, but I don't see any interest in anything more equitable or affordable.
