It's definitely cost. There are other ways to make it generate text that is similar to training data without needing it to endlessly repeat words so I doubt OpenAI cares in that aspect.

It doesn't endlessly repeat, there's a cap on token generation per request. It absolutely is because of the recent "exploit"

I don't think they would care if it didn't get popular and having thousands of people trying it out, eating up huge amount of compute resources.

It's a known quirk of LLMs.
