Isn't the whole thesis behind LLM coding that you can easily clone the CLI using an LLM? Otherwise what are you paying $200/mo for?

In some sense that's what OpenCode is, and Anthropic's not having that.

Doesn't seem like it has much to do with LLMs at all, just typical vendor lock-in nonsense like how Apple's own apps get entitlements not available to any other developer.
