IMO, treating antes and bring-ins as "costs" is the wrong way to look at it. While it's true that you have to put more into the pot on average with each hand, so do all of the other players. You pay more for a starting pot where you have an increased expectation, dollarwise. In general, this evens out in the end.
However, I also think that playing the same strategy in a high-ante game as you do in a low ante game is the wrong way to go.

You're right, and it was intentionally oversimplified. If you play the same very tight, premium hand strategy that earns you a steady profit with small antes, you won't collect nearly enough in the pots you do play to compensate for the antes you pay when they are large. Also, you won't be able to take as many pots uncontested since the opps will be getting better pot odds to chase you.
