The thing is consumers don't care about OSS models. Any non-technical person just wants to "use AI", and think of ChatGPT for that.

Right, the model is a commodity to most users. So all things equal, a ChatGPT clone that costs (say) 70% less will steal share.
Flipping it again: if the model is a commodity that lets one "use AI," why would anyone pay 2x or 3x as more to use ChatGPT?
