Open source products, back in the day, competed against the giant corporations of their time, which spent vast sums on R&D, and yet succeeded. That's because massive organizations lack agility, suck at innovation and fail to inspire people with real talent. They might make a few prestige hires here and there, but who wants to work for Microsoft or for a greedhead VC tech bro, even if it means a big payday? And there are more ethical organizations around that are not controlled by Altman or other greedhead tech bros like Zuckerberg.

Sociopaths and toxic narcissists comprise only a small percentage of the population, and most of them lack even rudimentary business acumen. I don't advocate your hypothetical strategy, but if it were sustained, they would eventually run out of those categories of sleazeballs.
