The same thing is true for a _ton_ of tech products. My home internet plan easily gives me more than $1000 in value per month. My cell phone hardware probably gives me $2000+ in value over even a short 2 year life. Customers still tend to choose the cheapest option that meets requirements.

I don’t know, I ditched my ISP of many years as soon as a better option came up, even though it cost more, because it is much higher quality.

Home internet and cell phones are fungible. AI is not.

If Internet would suddenly become $10k a month, maybe you would change country, or move to an office.

If AI would suddenly become $10k you can't do anything about it.
