I think it's a matter of public perception and user sentiment. You don't want to shove ads into a product that people are already complaining about. And you don't want the media asking questions like why you rolled out a "health assistant" at the same time you were scrambling to address major safety, reliability, and legal challenges.

chatgpt making targeted "recommendations" (read ads) is a nightmare. especially if it's subtle and not disclosed.

Exactly. This is more about “the product isn’t good enough yet to survive the enshittification effect of adding ads.”
