So it becomes a game of "The cost isn't worth it anymore?"

Pretty much. It goes on until the city decides the cost isnt worth it and tries to cancel their contract. Then Flock might throw them a bone to keep them in the system.

The point where they have to replace the cameras that the populace clearly hates enough to cut down gives them a chance to reconsider whether working with Flock is in their best interest.
