If your “secret sauce” is OpenAI’s proprietary models, OpenAI is going to end up making all the money.

How much money do the chipmakers extract from computing?

What businesses have the secret sauce being the proprietary features of one vendors chips? Heck, a number of the big computing companies (in various areas) also have custom silicon.

It's actually the opposite. The article here is talking about a round of funding for an OpenAI competitor. I claim that all startups that leverage GPT have a plausible value proposition. They absolutely do not depend on OpenAI.

Here's the thing: building a GPT bot is not that difficult, you can do it with a few lines of keras, for example [1]. The difficult part is training one. Presumably once you trained one, you can train another one. That's why the maker of Stable Diffusion is valuable.
