They buy all couple billion existing users as well, and the stronger branding of Chrome
This is the answer, but unless they want to be a browser company (not impossible) I doubt they will maintain it as well as Google. Likewise, Chrome was a loss leader designed to funnel users into Google's profitable ventures of advertising and search, but apparently OpenAI does not have a profitable sector whatsoever.
Mitigating factor: OpenAI leverages its ownership of Chrome to funnel users into Bing for money.
I think OpenAI is creating their own search, that's probably the end goal to make that the default on Chrome and have chatgpt as a default extension too
