I think it's more due to you being in Silicon Valley
I have only seen that type of "deal" offered through University Library Systems for students.
I pay for Safari out of my own pocket (full library subscription) as it has allowed me to move on new tech in different jobs (freelancer for a bit there) quicker than trying to go to the book store, look up books, buy, and then transport them with me.
With Safari, my tech library is an N800 tethered to a mobile (or Wifi). It pays for itself easily if you find you are switching roles frequently.
