If they were priced at 10x their current prices, I would doubt whether more 
than one or two people would have applied. With such a small take up, I 
would doubt that the service would have existed long enough for them to be 
cryopreserved. Indeed, I would doubt whether the service would have even 
been available at the time people who are cryopreserved now and would have 
paid that much did apply.

There is a problem with many technologies in that although they are 
possible, they would cost too much to be economically viable.
