They are not the only ones with the product. They don't have a moat. They are marginally better than competing models, at best. There is no moat into LLMs unless you happen to find the secret formula for super intelligence, hope nobody else finds it, and lock all of your R&D in the Moria mines so they don't go working and building it elsewhere.
There is no moat here. I can't believe so many intelligent people, even on HN cannot grasp it.
