There are two different things occurring here.

One is how much does it cost OpenAI to train the model.

The other is, if I stole OpenAI's model how much would it cost for me to run it?

R&D costs versus operational costs. Operational costs are very likely profitable. R&D is catastrophically expensive currently.
