I think you hit the nail on the head here. Altman himself set this structure up. The real story here is a live by the sword, die by the sword parable.
Similarly, Microsoft is coming across as blameless here, but there’s a reason Satya went on a full court press. They committed tremendous resources and money to an unpredictable business structure that is fundamentally not aligned with the profit motive - in its very charter.
