I think it's more than that. They truly believe Claude Code to be a moat (both the harness and the posttraining) to be a moat.

I've been deeply distrustful of Anthropic from early early days. They have always been openly disdainful of user feedback. I would not be surprised if later they try to implement more shenanigans to keep people locked into CC.

Claude Code is quickly becoming an anchor. Every week I marvel at how much worse it gets, how much more essential information is hidden and replaced with bloated useless TUI and rambling tangential responses that hide the useful bits of info behind jargon invented by the agent without ever explaining it to the user.

It's like the PMs for Claude Code are reward hacking their own reinforcement learning.

Ironically, I think Claude Code is shit, especially after I started to get used to Pi.

It has a sort of first mover advantage, but I wouldn't be surprised if basically any harness is superior to that crap.
