I'm under the impression that Github Copilot was just using an earlier version of OpenAI codex. They didn't fumble because they were never a shovel factory, they were always a shovel reseller.
Yeah, as I recall it was just codex repackaged, but there is also the aspect of the tooling itself that the model interacts with which they massively fumbled. People will still use codex on its own, but nobody wants to ever use copilot.
