They're still much cheaper where I am. But regardless, why not take the Uber while it's cheaper?
There's the argument of the taxi industry collapsing (it hasn't yet). Is your concern some sort of long term knowledge loss from programmers and a rug pull? There are many good LLM options out there, they're getting cheaper and the knowledge loss wouldn't be impactful (and rug pull-able) for at least a decade or so.
