You said: "Polkadot offers the flexibility and freedom of having your own layer-1 blockchain, without being forced to pass gas fees on to their end-users".
That's right, but there are only 100 parachains and hiring one of them costs a fortune!

Yep, you're right.
Gaining 1 of those 100 parachain slots isn't cheap or easy.
But do you know whether there will be more slots opening up in the future, or if that's it?
All I can find around expanding is vague wording like the number of slots is flexible and subject to change.

That's all I know as well, but the point is that the current rely chain only can support 100 parachains, so if they want to implement more they'll need either to update it or build another one. Taking into account that they are still auctioning the first parachains, there is a long road ahead before they start even thinking about deploying more. Anyway, I see Polkadot as a kind of private Internet of blockchains reserved just for wealthy people and high tech developers, so they don't have the vision of a widespread adoption, like for example Cardano.
