I think it should count for the purposes of this question (which is about technology, not values/motivation, and reasonableness of a cost depends on values). But since the question is about what happens eventually in the hypothetical where we don’t ever run out of time, I guess eventually the cost will become reasonable (in some sense).

Are assuming that the economy will grow forever, so that one billion present-day dollars will eventually become an arbitrarily small fraction of the economy? Unless we colonize other planets within a very few centuries, I don’t think that’s possible.
Would a future where it would be possible to restore a cryo patient but it’d cost the equivalent of one billion present-day dollars per patient count?
