I thought the mission was for the AGI to be widely available 'democratized'? It seems extremely unrealistic to be able to generate 100x profits without compromising on availability.

Not really. If you create an autonomous robot capable of performing any task that a trained human is capable of doing today, and offer this machine for some suitable low-ish sum to anyone who wants one, you've both democretized AI and created more value than any company that exists today.

Why would they choose a low-ish sum if they own the market? More money to make if margin is higher (presuming its below the buying threshold for enough people).
