Trying to create shortages etc is just typical Scam Altman behaviour and really speaks to how vulnerable he feels against Google's might.
There was a point where Google's existence was questioned, but they've been working away quietly and they'll win the long game. Altman viewed OAI as a way to reduce Google's AI dominance - I think when we look back in history it'll turn out he made it worse. Google wasn't all that interested in releasing LLMs out into the wild.

I tend to think you're right about Google. Just for the simple reason that webmasters everywhere try their best to keep OpenAI's crawlers out, while simultaneously trying their best to attract Google's.
