This only holds true for local inference and open source models. LLMs are not truly ours today: comparing a firearm which is totally yours (we can argue about bullets etc, which have a (still low) production barrier) to a big-tech-mega-datacenter-in-texas-run LLM is naïve.

I fail to see why needing to be able to train your own LLMs is any sort of prerequisite. I already made the distinction between different qualities of guns, a lower quality gun is immensely more effective than no gun at all.
