It's not a property of the company. It's a property of the funding mechanism. Anything getting its funds from VC or hedge-funds will eventually succumb to this - it's the capital speaking.

Only if the market isn't competitive enough to allow for it. Especially if OSS LLMs are viable companies have little leverage to go shitty.

What's the course of action you recommend? Using nothing that's VC funded because Corey Doctorow says it will become shitty eventually?

The course of action is to lobby your representatives to amend the tax code to close the carried interest loophole.
