Even EE has some limit of applicants for the year. Plus it's been 5 months since the program started and the cutoff has never gone below 453. That still doesn't stop people from creating profiles and being hopeful about their chances.
In OOPNP's case, it's been less than a week and people have started receiving invitations not nominations yet. It'll take at least a couple of months to see how many of these invitations translate into 600 points getting added to the CRS score. Hence it is premature to worry about quota getting filled up this early.
Having said all that, it is still an individual decision. For some people, 1500 CAD will be a fair price to pay for taking their chances with a PN lottery and for others it will seem steep.
All the best!
++ Adding to that:
From what I'm understanding from the following description from PNP website, originally there might be only 2700 PT Invitation:
=================================================================================
I meet Ontario's stream criteria. Why haven't I received a “PT notification of interest”?
Ontario was allocated 2700 nomination spaces by the federal government to use with Express Entry. The number of people who are eligible for our streams and who wish to apply for a nomination
may surpass that number. Because of this,
not everyone who qualifies for our stream will receive a “PT notification of interest”.

I know, it's only a week since the launch, but not sure If they are going to allocate all the Invitation in once.
