Yes that is what I think as well. They are constantly sprinting. There is no time to reap the benefits of a specific model. The next is in the pipeline because there is always someone at your heels. I don't understand how this is supposed to grow into a sustainable business.

I also worry about the compute costs. Maybe they can make a profit now but at some point the massive investments of everyone into compute must be payed back.

The only way they win is if there's some explosion of value at the frontier that the fast-followers can't reach (AGI, RSI, whatever you want to call it), or if there's some capability/mechanism that halts the fast-followers' progress (no idea what could cause that).
