I think the OP is referring to the data transfer rates. If you are having issues with the billed limits in a production application, please let us know on the billing issues form: http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineBillingSupport
For all practical purposes, the higher datastore limits haven't had the effect of encouraging developers to use the datastore more over caching. Caching expensive results and providing a cheap way to share memory across application instances is enough to encourse Memcache use.
