I've heard this claimed dozens of times. I wonder if anyone at Github can confirm this theory and maybe give insight into why they haven't just done this?

Im guessing the lock-in is strong enough that they can eat the reputational hit while getting meaningful training data by subsidizing the free users.

Github has a decade of positive reputation to deal out, I don't see Grok or OpenAI jumping in and competing with that.
