I like the people who are all "when it gets too expensive, we'll just move on to self-hosting open weight models", as if that doesn't require having a fleet of GPUs running in the back room, or cloud compute in a data centre that will be charging a premium on cycles once everyone and their dog starts subscribing.

    That's what's balanced against "when it gets too expensive." This is basic economics. When one approach is too expensive you move to a less expensive one, then if the prices change and you're once again on the expensive one you move back again. The point is to have competition so that neither option can simply jack their prices up arbitrarily.
