Why with profit instead of revenue?

Their revenue pays for the compute.

Their revenue pays for expenses. If profit is negative, revenue doesn't cover their expenses.

They can't just turn off all other expenses and just pay for compute.

Their revenue does cover their expenses - at least for last 2 quarters.

It doesn't: their expenses exceeded revenue the last quarter (by hundreds of millions of dollars) and the last calendar year as well (by tens of billions of dollars).

Because after operating expenses, there is no revenue left to pay anything, much less additional liabilities.
