Its the same basis as previously, the interface that you use to access the premium functionality isn't in iself a for cost option. Its the management functionality itself that costs. If, however you turn off management pack access by setting the control_management_pack_access parameter to NONE (there's a nice interface for this in EM Express) then pages such as the performance hub get a whole lot less interesting :).
