Yes, but Google benefit from people using their TPUs, while Anthropic gains nothing unless AWS throws money at them for saying it.

This.
Anthropic is not going to interrupt their competitors if their competitors don't want to use trainium. Neither would you, I, nor anyone else. The only potential is downside. There's no upside potential for them at all in doing so.
From Anthropic's perspective, if the rest of us can't figure out how to make trainium work? Good.
Amazon will fix the difficulty problem with time, but that's time Anthropic can use to press their advantages and entrench themselves in the market.
